This anonymous engraving from 1672 depicts Mughal soldiers, specifically a warrior on horseback and another mounted on an elephant. The detailed imagery and use of shading create a sense of realism, making it clear that the artist aimed to portray these figures accurately. The inclusion of the title "‘Tryk van den Grooten Mogol" (Trick of the Great Mughal) suggests that the piece was part of a larger collection focusing on the Mughal Empire, perhaps a series of prints illustrating the various military practices or traditions of this powerful dynasty.
