Notes
This scene depicts a fatal quarrel described in the "Akbarnama" (a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar, r. 1556–1605) by the court historian Abu’l Fazl ibn Mubarak (1551–1602). Note the men holding and shooting arrows from their bows as the main female protagonist raises her arms in alarm and protest.
