A ruler on horseback hunting boar
Udaipur, circa 1860

gouache and gold on paper, blue inner border, mauve outer border (now faded), nagari inscription in upper border (also faded)
243 x 288 mm.

Footnotes

The faded inscription is barely decipherable, but contains a name ending in -an Singh or -at Singh. Jawan Singh (reg. 1828-38) would appear to have reigned too early to be portrayed in this style which is highly reminiscent of that of Tara or his son Sivalal, produced in the late 1850s and early 1860s.
