1650 (ca.), [India], The Battle of Shahbarghan, folio from the Padshahnama (Chronicle of the Emperor) -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: An illustration to a history of Shah Jahan's reign, this painting shows the emperor's army during a successful punitive expedition into Transoxiana. The Astrakhanid ruler Nasr Muhammad had escaped the Mughal army, carrying with him most of his treasure. The Mughal commanders Asalat Khan and Rustam Khan intercepted him at Shahbarghan and defeated him in July 1646. Shah Jahan ordered eight days of festivities to celebrate the victory.
