Princes of the House of Timur (1545–50),probably by Safavid artist, Abd us Samad, in opaque watercolour on cotton, surprises us by its size and complex structure and display of historical portraits.

The artwork "Tutinama: The Girl and the Parrot," dating from 1580 to 1585, is currently housed in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.

Madonna and Child: Madonna and Child (1580) by Basawan done in opaque watercolour on paper is an important early work of the Mughal School of Painting in this context. Madonna, here, is an extraordinary theme, which brings the Byzantine art, the European classical and its Renaissance to the Mughal atelier, where it is translated and transformed into an entirely different visual experience.

"A Prince and a Hermit" Painting is a part of folio from Diwan of Amir Shahi created in 1595. It is in Aga Khan Museum, Canada.

The artwork titled "Babur inspecting the fort of Gwalior" by Bhure, featured in the Baburnama and dating back to 1598, is currently displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi.
