Mughal court subjects in lavish processions was a predominant genre in Udaipur painting of the eighteenth century, often times set within an elaborate architectural composition. For a similar processional portrait of Maharana Ari Singh, which also exhibits portrait-style treatment of the facial features, see the the painting of Maharana Ari Singh in procession at the Dassehra festival and attending the Khejari Puka (A. Topsfield, Court Painting at Udaipur, 2008, fig.181 pp.200-201). While this example is a larger painting lavishly depicting the whole event, intended for more public commemoration, the present painting shows only the procession against a blank landscape, rendering it a more intimate portrait, possibly intended for personal view.
