Jahangir’s school of painting is a treasure in itself. It was a golden period of miniaturepaintings in Indian art. Very famous painters of Jahangir’s court like Abul al Hasan,Mansoor, Bichitra, Govardhan, Bisandas painted famous court paintings, paintings of birdsand animals, flora and fauna so brilliantly. In this paper I emphasize how figurativecomposition and portrait details were drawn in Jahangir’s paintings.
