Attributed to Manohar (North India, Mughal)
Shah Jahan Receives a Buck, ca. 1630

This ink drawing features a carefully rendered scene, but the artist never finished the picture. What do you imagine the final painting would have looked like?

This work by the same artist, Manohar, can provide some clues:

Print out a copy of Shah Jahan Receives a Buck and use colored pencils, markers, or watercolors to add color and complete the image. If you were Manohar, what patterns and colors would you use? How can color help communicate the story being told?
