Bay Horse — Single-Brush Miniature on Paper (14×11 in)

The Story

India's tradition of natural-history painting reached its height under the Mughal emperor Jahangir, whose court artist Ustad Mansur immortalised birds and beasts with near-scientific exactness. Company School painters later carried the genre forward, studying tigers, elephants, horses and birds from life. This piece continues that lineage, observing its subject with the patience and tenderness of those early naturalist-painters. Its subject is the horse, prized in Rajput culture as an emblem of nobility, valour and speed.
