Context from the museum
Emperor Akbar sits against a purple bolster under a canopy looking aged and careworn, probably not long before his death. He examines a trained falcon of the type that the Mughals used in hunting. This falcon appears to be from Akbar’s son, Prince Salim, who stands before him in a gesture of gift-giving. A stately black antelope, a wild animal now a pet, harnessed and wearing a bell, crouches at the foot of the steps leading up to the canopied platform.

Read the dimensions before the image
The selected painting only measurement for Akbar and Jahangir Examine a Ghir Falcon while Prince Khusrau Stands Behind is 11.6 cm wide and 17.2 cm high, equivalent to approximately 4.6 × 6.8 inches. Dividing width by height gives a format ratio of 0.67:1. The rectangular bounding area is 0.02 square meters; it describes the measured footprint, not the amount of paint or the monetary value.
On an illustrative 300 cm wall, the recorded width occupies 3.9% of the span before adding a frame. A centered placement leaves approximately 144.2 cm on each side before adding a frame. These are calculations by Physical Art For Crypto using museum measurements. They are not the museum’s display recommendations.
