Légende
Single Leaf of Mullah Du Piyaza Riding a Horse, mid 12th century AH/AD 18th century. This painting depicts Mullah Du Piyazah (Two Onions) riding an emaciated horse. It was produced in India, perhaps Hyderabad. Mullah Du Piyazah, who features largely in folk verses and folk tales, was allegedly a jokester at the court of the third Mughal Emperor Akbar (949 AH/AD 1542-1014 AH/AD 1605). The witticisms of this character are directed at the Mughal elite, including Akbar himself. The painting is framed by a light green border with illuminated floral and fauna motifs.
