		Akbar did succeed his father as Akbar Shah-II in 1806 but did not like his eldest son Abul Zafar, who was later to be known as Bahadur Shah Zafar, as he wanted Mirza Jahangir, son of his second wife, Begum Mumtaz Mahal, to be the heir apparent.

		That period was known as Gardi-ka-Waqt because ominous clouds of unrest darkened the Indian horizon in the aftermath of the invasions of Nadir Shah and Ahmed Shah Abdali.

		Lot Notes: A number of miniatures are known depicting durbars of the emperor Akbar II, many of which, like the present carving, also include British emissaries (see for example Christie's New York, Indian and South east Asian Art, 21 March 2001, lot 203; the note to that entry lists a number of other examples).
		Akbar II sits in regal splendour in a golden howdah, fanned by a servant with a fly-whisk; the heir-apparent is also carried by an elephant, whilst the younger brothers ride in a European carriage.
		Lot Notes: This unusual scene combines the familiar grouping of the Emperor Akbar II with his sons and attendants, though he is seated not on the Peacock Throne in Delhi, with the background of a grand palace courtyard depicted with a plunging sense of perspective.
