About the piece Scroll ↓

This bird, with its fierce expression, sharp beak, and spurred feet, may have been a champion in the cockfighting ring. The Mughal emperor Jahangir requested that his royal court artists paint portraits of remarkable birds and animals with as much realism as possible. He felt that such paintings enhanced feelings of amazement beyond hearing or reading an account.

India, Mughal, 17th century, c. 1620. Original medium: Gum tempera, ink, and gold on paper.

Worth knowing: This page belonged to the owner of Cleveland’s Leisy Brewing Company, est. 1873.

Faithfully restored from museum archives and printed on premium canvas-textured fine art paper, framed and ready to hang.
