More from the Morgan Library & Museum:
"Bābur and Two Companions Racing: This is the second of two miniatures in the Read Mughal Album that were formerly part of the British Library's Bāburnāma (Memoirs of Bābur). According to Bābur, when he looked back to see how far Qambar-˓Alī and Qasim Beg were behind him, his girth strap snapped, causing him to fall on his head. 'Although I stood up immediately and got back on,' he wrote, 'my brain did not return to normal until that evening.' This miniature is probably by the artist Parasa, to whom four others in the British Library's manuscript have been attributed."
(Mughal ca. 1590–92, with borders added early-19th century)
