Mughal Hunting Paintings – Royal Shikar Scenes with Cheetahs & Deer

Explore Rupasya's Mughal Hunting miniature paintings, depicting the royal shikar (hunt) tradition that was central to Mughal court life. This collection includes a Camel & Cheetah hunting scene and a detailed Deer Hunting Scene, both inspired by imperial hunts where trained cheetahs were used to chase deer and blackbuck across rocky, forested landscapes — a practice famously favoured by Emperor Akbar. Each painting is hand-crafted on genuine antique old paper using natural stone pigments, capturing the movement and drama of the chase in fine miniature detail. Available in custom sizes, with worldwide shipping.
