Description
English: Emperor Aurangzeb on litter with attendants, supervising native cavalry and artillery attack on walled and fortified city Golconda (Hyderabad, India) in background in 1687.
English: This gouache painting was created by an unknown Indian artist sometime in the mid-to-late 18th century, but it depicts an earlier event: the siege of the city of Golconde in south-central India by the last great Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb (reigned 1658–1707). Golconde was famous for its fort, palaces, factories, and ingenious water-supply system, as well as the legendary wealth from the city’s diamond mine. (https://www.wdl.org/en/item/9223/)
