The “Maryam Makani” of the Baburid dynasty
The depiction of Hamida Banu on a page from the “Akbar Album” is not merely a portrait of a noblewoman but serves as an artistic and cultural document that reveals the role of aristocratic women in history and their influence on political processes. This miniature, currently housed at the British Museum in London, was created around 1560 in the city of Agra.
