Babur meeting the Khurasan Mirzas

Babur Meeting Khurazan Mirza, attributed to Kashmiri shows the visual language of Mughal manuscript painting through its controlled linearity, hierarchical composition and meticulous surface detailing. The meeting is shown as a courtly interaction where the way space is arranged shows the diplomatic hierarchy through the way the main people are placed how big they are and what they do with their hands. Kashmiri uses lines and carefully adjusted brushstrokes to show the differences in faces, fancy clothes, jewelry and things used in court. The colors show the Mughal preference for mineral paints balanced with carefully placed areas of red, green, blue and gold. Buildings and nature parts act as parts of the picture that help arrange the scene while keeping a space like a manuscript. Detailed patterns on clothes and fancy surfaces add a rhythm to the picture. Show the identity of the upper class. The use of space around the people stops the picture from being too full while things overlapping show that some parts are further back. The painting then takes an event and turns it into a picture that shows control and politics making a moment, from history into a carefully built image of power and diplomacy.
