SAWAR, RAJASTHAN, INDIA, CIRCA 1730

Clearly relating to the previous painting in its choice of colours, tonality and the finely hatched shading, this is an interesting local variant of a well-known Mughal trope. The large scale and intense eyes are features observed in other Sawar paintings. It is ironic to note that Sawar was founded as a by-product of a rebellion against the subject of this painting.
