AN EQUESTRIAN PORTRAIT WITH A FOOT ATTENDANT, MEWAR, RAJASTHAN, NORTH-WESTERN INDIA, CA. 1880 - 1920

Opaque pigments heightened with gold on paper, the vertical-format composition depicting a Rajput ruler on a chestnut steed bedecked in gold ceremonial tassels and trappings, holding a tall spear, followed by a bare-footed and half-clad, humble foot attendant carrying a heavy bag on his head, the scene a strong visual reminder of the social difference between castes, with 2ll. of black ink Devanagari script at the top against an ochre yellow background, set within concentric black and white rules, and bright red borders, mounted, glazed, and framed.
