Indian Painting under the Mughals, A.D. 1550 to A.D. 1750 c21.8

c21.8

In one of the apartments of the ‘house of Miriam’, in Akbar’s now deserted capital, there used to be the much-faded remains of a large wall-painting, the subject of which was said to be the Annunciation. It has been suggested that this building, for the time being, may have been made over to the members of the mission for their accommodation; and that the chamber which the picture adorns was possibly their chapel.
