Babur meeting with Sultan Ali Mirza at the Kohik River, from a Babur-nama (Memoirs of Babur)
A painting depicting a scene with men on horseback and on foot, in a landscape with trees, rocks, and a body of water. The men wear turbans, robes, and riding gear, some with weapons. The horses are various colors including white, brown, and gray. The scene is framed with a gold border, then a blue and gold patterned border, and then a tan border with painted flowers and foliage. The main scene depicts a meeting or encounter between the men on horseback and those on foot, possibly Sultan Ali Mirza and Babur. The background includes blue sky and distant mountains. The style is detailed and ornate, suggesting it is from a historical or cultural manuscript.
