Summary
| Description |
English: Babur attempts to defend Akhsi. First illustrated Baburnama, 1589 "This illustration is from a well-known dispersed manuscript of the Baburnama, the autobiographical account written by the first Mughal emperor Babur. The scene depicted in the present painting is that of Babur attempting to defend the city of Akhsi in Ferghana (modern day Uzbekistan). The event took place between 7 July 1502 and 26 June 1503. The two lines of Persian in nasta'liq script in the two text panels on the painting reflect the illustrated scene in Babur's own words, translated as follows: "I got up quickly and shot one arrow off. My squire, Kahil (lazy) had a weakly pony; he got off and led it to me." (translated by Beveridge 1979, p.174)." [1] |
