Description | In this lively ink drawing, we see a Rajput nobleman hunting a tiger on horseback. He turns to deliver a mortal bow with his long-bladed sword, a posture that conveniently affords a full-profile portrait of him. The noble tiger was seen as an appropriate match for the skills of the Rajput aristocrat. Both are celebrated in this drawing, which is likely a finished work, not a study for a painting. |
