Description

An Indian miniature painting executed in the Rajasthani style, depicting a traditional shikar or hunting scene. The central composition features a tiger attacking a caparisoned elephant. Seated upon the elephant within a decorated howdah are a male and female figure. The scene includes two attendants on foot, one wielding a bow and arrow and the other a spear. The background consists of stylised rolling green hills, palm trees, and grey swirling clouds, all enclosed within a traditional red-painted border. The work is likely gouache or tempera on paper. It is mounted within a terracotta-coloured mat and housed in a dark wooden frame with a gold-tone inner slip, behind glass.
