This portrait of Baber, founder of the Mughal Empire, was created by Adrianus Canter Visscher, a Dutch artist, sometime between 1675 and 1755. The painting, rendered in watercolor on paper, depicts Baber seated on a throne with a sword at his side. The intricate details of the throne and the decorative pattern on the rug suggest a Mughal aesthetic. The portrait captures Baber's regal bearing and his significant role in Indian history, representing a blend of Mughal and European artistic traditions.
