Jehangir implores Badshah Akbar Frame:White Cedar Ebony Hardwood Box Frame "Like us many have spokenIn the painting, commissioned by Shah Jahan and painted by a Mughal great Balchand, Akbar is seen bathed in heavenly light as he stands before his son Jahangir who gestures imploringly with both hands stretched. It seems the son is trying to drive in a point or reason with his father over a point of conflict. Akbar, with a falcon sitting on his gloved hand, responds by leaning toward his successor. The plea and the response is open to interpretation.
