Jahangir holding the picture of Madonna: Abul Hassan did a portrait of Jahangir holding a picture of Madonna in 1620. As tempera on paper was common in practice, this painting was also done in the same technique. Jahangir is shown holding a picture of Madonna and having a close look at it. Jahnagir is shown in the centre with decorated borders. The copper colour and golden appearance shows the influence of European and Persian styles. This miniature indicates the liberal attitude towards Christian Missionaries. Now, the painting is a collection of the National Museum, New Delhi.

Falcon on a Bird Rest: This painting by Ustad Mansur, Nadir ul Asr, a title received from Jahangir, is in the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, USA. Jahangir had fine falcons brought to his collection, and as a keen connoisseur, he had them painted. These images were included in his official biography Jahangirnama. There is an interesting episode described by him of a falcon brought as a present from Persian emperor Shah Abbas. This is to do with the falcon, which was mauled by a cat, resulting in its death, and the Emperor desired his painters to paint the dead falcon, preserving its memory for posterity. The painting shown here, Falcon Perched on a Bird Rest (1615), is one of the many paintings that were painted by the Mughal artist, Ustad Mansur.
