About the painting
This depiction of a Blue-throated Barbet was done for the Mughal emperor Jahangir (r.1605-1627) by one of the greatest artists of his reign, Mansur according to the later attribution in black ink in the border below the painting. It notes that it is the work of the Wonder of the Age, Ustad Mansur Naqqash'. Mansur was in service to Jahangir's father, the emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605), and continued as a royal artist after Akbar's death.
The Blue-throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) is found in the Himalayan foothills, including Kashmir which Jahangir visited several times during his reign, taking artists including Mansur with him.
