country in the world possesses a better series of portraits of the men who made history. Pictures of this class are so numerous, and so many of such excellence, that it is difficult to make a representative selection. One of the most interesting early portraits is that of Akbar as an elderly man, standing leaning on his sword; the costume is tinted in pale colours with a little gold. The artist's name is not known (Plate CXXII).
