In Akbar-nama, an authentic record of his life-events and likeness, Akbar has been depicted more than once hunting a lion. Here he is quite friendly with the animal, or rather holds out to it his necklace as if a monarch paying his reverence to another whose majesty rules alike the world of the wild.
The portrayed figure represents an Akbar of elderly days. The simplicity of Akbar's attire was a characteristic aspect of his lifestyle, which the artist has truly captured.
