| Description |
English: Yudishthira wrestling with Karna, from the epic Razmnameh. Originally in manuscript dated 1007H (1598). Both men, stripped to the waist and standing, embrace one another in this traditional form of wrestling. Two chariots stand on either side while attendents await in the foreground. A hilly landscape with single tree compose the background. No text.
Yudishthira, the eldest of the five Pandava brothers, and Karna, his bastard half brother, wrestle in the traditional way, stripped to the waist and standing. This artist has created an archaic mood in his picture by including only bows and arrows and no 'modern' armour. By the 1590s Akbar had assembled a large atelier of artists who illustrated the numerous historical, epic and poetical texts written and translated at the emperor's behest. The Razmnameh is the Persian abridged translation of the Mahabharata. The pale green ground and painterly treatment of foliage charaterise the numerous dispersed illustrations of the Razmnameh. |
