专家说明

The inscription in nagari translates as "in samvat 1867, sastra samvat 86, on the eleventh day of Jyestha, [this] phulgar was painted by Sajnu." Orinthological studies by named Pahari artists are extremely rare. This Western Horned Pheasant (Tragopan melanocephalus), also known as a "phalgun" in India, would have been painted by Sajnu while he was in the service of Raja Isvari Sen of Mandi, and in the same year that he completed the Hamir Hath series for his patron.
