A WILD BOAR HUNT
MEWAR, RAJASTHAN, NORTH INDIA, CIRCA 1760-80
Opaque pigments heightened with gold on paper, the maharaja and his companions sit within a fort, he shoots wild boars through one of the fort's windows, a forested landscape around, his retinue with hunting dogs, horse and palanquin in the background, under a moonlit sky, with red borders and black rules, the reverse with a line of black devanagari script
11 7/8 x 18in. (30.2 x 45.5cm.)
