"Aokber" is a miniature portrait by Adrianus Canter Visscher, dating from the 17th or 18th century. The painting depicts a man, likely a Mughal emperor, adorned in elaborate attire, with a turban and a string of pearls. The subject holds a flower, symbolizing Mughal courtly life and Mughal miniature painting. The small dimensions of the artwork suggest it may have been part of a larger collection of portraits, illustrating the diverse characters within Mughal culture.
