Dog with pups — Restored Rajput Wall Art

Dogs were kept in the Mughal imperial palace and attentively cared for by one keeper for every two hunting dogs. Akbar’s biography notes that the emperor liked dogs so much he imported different breeds from distant lands, and Jahangir requested English hunting dogs from the ambassador Sir Thomas Roe. The tradition of collecting and keeping dogs was continued by the succeeding emperors and vassal kings.

India, Rajasthan, Ajmer, probably Sawar school, 18th century, c. 1780. Original medium: Gum tempera and ink on paper.

Worth knowing: The newborn puppies are still too young to open their eyes.
