Footnotes
- The attribution of this painting is unclear as the facial features are aligned with Rajasthan, yet the body type is more closely associated with the Punjab Hills. Compare with another Lady playing with a yo-yo, attributed to Bundi or Kota, ca. 1770 in the Brooklyn Museum of Art (80.268.1)
