Behind him, seemingly worried, his grandson Prince Khurram (later Shah Jahan) turns to his bibulous older brother, Prince Khusrau. The courtier saluting the emperor appears to be Hakim 'Ali Gilani, the physician who attended Akbar in his last illness and who was also Prince Khurram's chief tutor. An unidentified huntsman tries unsuccessfully to attract the attention of a hound. He holds a superb green matchlock, symbolic perhaps of activities forsaken in old age.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#222222\" face=\"Graphik Webfont, -apple-system, Helvetica Neue, Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#222222\" face=\"Graphik Webfont, -apple-system, Helvetica Neue, Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif\"\u003eManohar's group portrait sensitively conveys a mood of sadness and tension, and as such it is a landmark in the development of its genre, which could be considered the outstanding expression of Mughal art.
