This painting dates from 1770. The Raja's face is in
profile. His large moustache and large red
turban show he's from Rajasthan. There are quite a lot
of amusing details - attendants on foot carry various objects:
 |
a mace (the front attendant) |
|
a tether (a lead for the horse) |
|
a leafy branch |
|
a picnic carpet |
|
one
attendant is running alongside with the huqqa so the Raja can smoke as
he rides. |
