Note du spécialiste

Compare the compositon of the present painting, cleverly combining aspects of each horse into a playful geometric composition, with a drawing with a similar subject in the collection of Isabella and Vicky Ducrot, illustrated by V. Ducrot, Four Centuries of Rajput Paintings: Mewar, Marwar and Dhundhar Indian Miniatures from the Collection of Isabella and Vicky Ducrot, Milan, 2009, p.140, cat. no. BN 13.
