Chand Bibi Playing Polo- The painting shows Chand Bibi, the Queen of Bijapur, one of the most prosperous and culturally refined Deccani state. Chand Bibi resisted the Mughal political attempts to overtake the state by Emperor Akbar. A revered and accomplished ruler, Chand Bibi was a great sportsperson. Here, she is showing playing chaugan, the other name for equestrian polo game, a popular royal sport of the time. The painting appears to be provincial of much later period, and is in the collection of National Museum, New Delhi, India.

The artwork titled "Poet in a Garden" by Muhammad Ali from Golconda, created between 1605 and 1615, is housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, USA.

An illustrated manuscript Tarif–i–Hussain Shahi shows a painting 'King sitting on the Throne', Ahmadnagar, 1565–1569. It is housed in Bharata Itihasa Samshodaka Mandala, Poona (Maharashtra).

Sultan Ibrahim Adil Shah II Hawking- This is a painting of extraordinary energy and sensibility. The brilliant red on the limbs and tail of the horse, and the flowing garment of Sultan Ibrahim Adil Shah II render a visual experience, which remains with one. Persian influence is evident in the treatment of the horse and rocks. The plants and dense landscape in the foreground are of native inspiration. The galloping horse generates energy, which visually activates the entire panoramic landscape. This painting is in the collection of the Institute of the Peoples of Asia, Academy of Sciences, Leningrad, Russia.
