Footnotes

The overall style of this painting, as well as, in particular, the portrayal of the horse and its caparison, the hound and boar, are highly reminiscent of a painting offered in these rooms by the artist Parasuram, a follower of Tara, dated 1913 VS/AD 1855-56. (See Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art, 2nd October 2012, lot 185). Compare also a painting in the City Palace Museum, Udaipur, illustrated in A. Topsfield, Court Painting at Udaipur: art under the patronage of the Maharanas of Mewar, Zurich 2001, p. 266, fig. 243, depicting Sarup Singh riding out with Rawat Khuman Singh; and pp. 265-266 for Parasuram.
