介绍（中）	Hamzanama讲述了先知的叔叔Hamza的奇妙故事，他周游世界传播伊斯兰教义。这个故事是咖啡馆公开朗诵的热门主题，故事令人兴奋且充满奇妙元素。年轻的皇帝阿克巴委托制作了一份插图版手稿，其中包括 1，400 幅大型插图，每幅插图高两英尺多，背面有文字以帮助背诵。它是皇家绘画工作室最早和最雄心勃勃的产品，其画作背叛了波斯和当地印度风格的早期融合。在这幅画中，间谍赞布尔骑着驴子带着一个名叫玛希亚的女仆来到镇上。人物和动物，拱廊街道上的树木，以及一头驴在驮包中结出的水果等细节，都经过仔细观察，并以比当代伊朗缩影更自然的方式呈现。然而，构图的极端对角线导致了建筑的尴尬混乱，特别是在左侧，屋顶陡峭倾斜，楼梯无处可通。
介绍（英）	The Hamzanama tells the fantastic story of Hamza, an uncle of the Prophet, who traveled the world spreading the teachings of Islam. The story was a popular subject for public recitation in coffeehouses, so exciting and full of fantastic elements were the tales. The young emperor Akbar commissioned an illustrated version of the manuscript consisting of 1,400 large illustrations, each over two feet tall, with text on the reverse to aid in recitation. It was the earliest and most ambitious product of the royal painting atelier, and its paintings betray an early fusion of Persian and local Indian styles. In this painting, Zambur, a spy, brings a maid named Mahiya to town on a donkey. The figures and animals, the trees along the arcaded street, and details such as the fruit borne in panniers by one donkey are carefully observed and rendered in a more naturalistic way than would be found in contemporary Iranian miniatures. Yet the extreme diagonal of the composition has resulted in an awkward jumble of buildings, particularly on the left, where rooftops tip precipitously and a staircase leads nowhere.
