| Notes | The drawing represents the Emperor Jahāngīr ('world-seizer', r.1605-27), the son of Akbar and father of Shāh Jahān, and is based on an identifiable miniature until recently in Schloss Schönbrunn, Vienna, and now in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.[1] As in other drawings of the series, the artist modified minor details and the perspective of the original, which was itself altered when incorporated into the building's decorative scheme. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
