Guru Arjan Dev Ji painting 1760

[puzzled]

Painting of Guru Arjan Dev Ji hunting, 1760. Early painting of Guru Arjan Dev Ji from the Sikh Misl period. Its so different to how Guru Ji is painted in the art of our times, as a saintly figure, while in this 18th century painting Guru Sahib is depicted as a warrior hunting with a falcon on his hand. So different!  I would of thought it was Guru Gobind Singh ji or Guru Hargobind ji. Perhaps this is how Guru Arjan Dev ji was seen in the 18th century?  interesting.

remember Guru Ji used to have a pehalwan akardaa and regularly did wrestling bouts with his sikhs  he is the first Guru to join training with guru sikhia ... anyway it makes sense that guru ji will look like his descendents
