JAIPUR OR AWADH, LATE 18TH CENTURY

Jaipur in the early 18th Century attracted a number of artists who were trained in the courts of Awadh. The receding landscape and detailed foliage of the trees are featured associated with Awadh. The form of the horses with their rounded bodies tinted with orange illustrate that our present work might have been produced in Jaipur. For a similar work attributed to Jaipur with Awadh influence and dated to circa 1780 see Linda York Leach, Mughal and other Indian Paintings from the Chester Beatty Library, London, 1995, vol. II, no. 10.23, p. 985.
