This painting is folio no. 39 from a dispersed Panchakhyana series (a Jain recension of the Panchatantra tales). The Panchakhyana series were a response by Mewar artists to the accessible narrative themes and engaging animal fables of the Panchatantra (Five Discourses), a Mirror for Princes text, to impart worldly wisdom for the ideal prince to follow. Another folio from this series, formerly in the Elvira and Gursharan Sidhu collection, is now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.90.160.2).
