Plate LX. is a beautiful example of Mogul painted portraiture in the best period. It bears Jahangir's seal, and a note in Persian, apparently written by himself, "a portrait of Surajmal, the son of Amar Singh, painted by Nanha." This is a type of those sturdy Rajput warriors, some of whom, through Akbar's tactful diplomacy, became the Great Mogul's most faithful adherents, after a gallant but vain struggle for independence.
