This miniature portrait of Hoemojoen, a Mughal emperor, was painted by Adrianus Canter Visscher between 1675 and 1755. The artwork is a detailed depiction of the emperor in profile, dressed in a green robe and a turban with a pink plume, adorned with a string of pearls. The miniature's small size and fine detail are characteristic of the Mughal School of miniature painting, which flourished in India during the 16th and 18th centuries. These paintings were often commissioned by the Mughal emperors as a way to commemorate important events or to record their likeness.
