The episode depicted in this painting is the battle in May 1509 with Shaibaq Khan, an Uzbek chief who was an arch enemy of Babur. The central figure on horseback is Babur himself. This painting was number 79 in the manuscript.
Haydar Kashmiri is not mentioned as one of the artists working on the various versions of the Baburnama as listed by Ellen Smart (Smart, 1977) but his work at the Mughal atelier covers a span of at least twelve years. He was both designer and painter, collaborating with the portraitist, Nanha, on the Timurnama of circa 1584 (Khuda Baksh Public Library, Bankipore, Patna). He also painted several folios in the Jami-al-Tawarikh, dated 1596 (Beach, 1981, pp.218 and 225).
For a brief discussion on the 'first' Baburnama illustrated manuscript and another painting from this series in the sale, see lot 78.
