The sensitive rendering of the hunter’s face suggests that this drawing may be the work of Shankar, an artist at the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605). The fur trim on the hunter’s hat and clothing may identify him as one of the many European individuals in India at the time, or indicate that his likeness was copied after an imported print or drawing. The hunter rides a horse with a small head and long neck, most likely a vaunted Arabian, and is accompanied by an attendant and a saluki, a type of hound that hunts by sight rather than smell. The face that appears between the upraised legs of the horse reveals that this page may once have been part of a sketchbook.
