his 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 Farghana (modern day Uzbekistan) which took place between 7 July 1502 and 26 June 1503. The two lines of Persian in nasta'liq script 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 A.S. Beveridge, Babur-nama, New Delhi, 1979, p.174).
The manuscript from which this illustration comes was executed for the emperor Akbar (Babur's grandson) around 1590, when his capital was located at Lahore. Akbar had requested that Babur's memoirs be translated from their original Turki into Persian by Abd ur-Rahim, his khan-I khanan. Abu'l Fazl in 1589 recorded the moment the translated manuscript was presented "On this day Khan-I khanan produced before the august Presence the Memoirs of Firdaus Makani [the Dweller in Paradise, i.e. Babur] which he had rendered into Persian out of the Turki and received great praise." (Stronge 2002, p.88).
Nineteen of the illustrations are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, hence the manuscript is sometimes referred to as the 'South Kensington Baburnama'. Other leaves are in the British Museum, London, the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and various private collections. Leaves have been sold in these rooms 26 April 1991, lot 64, 20 March 1997, lot 10, 25 March 1999, lot 201 and 23 March 2000, lot 192, 8 June 2000, lot 4.
Like the other 'South Kensington Baburnama' leaves the current lot possesses the distinctive muted palette and delicate nasta'liq script.
Leaves from other royal Mughal manuscripts are found remounted with borders from the Farang-i Jahangiri, notably the Chester Beatty Akbarnama (see Leach 1995, vol 1, pp.294; Colnaghi 1976, no.86i, ii and iii). Other leaves sold through these rooms 7 December 1971, lots 187a and 188, 4 May 1977, lot 341 and in our rooms in New York, 19 May 1982, lots 66 and 68, and 25 March 1987, lots 183-6.
