Sourced Overview Evidence
Many scholars consider the diminutive <em>Tuti-nama </em>to have been one of the first illustrated manuscripts made for Akbar, on which Indian artists worked with Persian masters to formulate a new style that their exacting emperor appreciated. The new Mughal style would be used to create the monumental <em>Hamza-nama</em> and hundreds of other Mughal manuscripts. There are many continuities between the <em>Tuti-nama</em> and the <em>Hamza-nama</em>, such as the image of a recumbent figure under a magnificent tree.
