"A turkey-cock brought to Jahangir from Goa in 1612 by (Ustad Mansur) Mansur" is a notable example of Mughal miniature painting, attributed to the celebrated artist Ustad Mansur. Mansur, who flourished during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605–1627), was renowned for his exceptional skill in natural history illustration, particularly in the depiction of flora and fauna. This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it represents one of the earliest known visual records of a turkey in India.

The turkey, a bird native to the Americas, was introduced to the Indian subcontinent by European traders and explorers. The arrival of a turkey in Jahangir's court from Goa, a Portuguese colony at the time, underscores the extensive trade networks and cultural exchanges between the Mughal Empire and European powers. Jahangir, an avid patron of the arts and a keen naturalist, took a particular interest in documenting and understanding exotic species, which were often depicted in the imperial atelier.

Ustad Mansur's painting captures the turkey with remarkable precision and attention to detail, reflecting the Mughal fascination with realism and scientific observation. The bird is rendered with meticulous care, showcasing its distinctive plumage, posture, and anatomical features. This work exemplifies the synthesis of artistic skill and empirical study that characterized Mughal natural history paintings.

The painting also highlights the role of court artists like Mansur in the broader intellectual and cultural pursuits of the Mughal court. Mansur's ability to accurately portray such an unfamiliar subject attests to his versatility and the high standards of the Mughal artistic tradition. Today, this painting is valued not only as a masterpiece of Mughal art but also as a historical document that provides insight into the cross-cultural interactions and scientific interests of the early 17th century.
