Condition
Very good overall condition. Slight abrasions and losses to pigment on the pink jacket of the attendant at far left, on the white sash of the attendant in front of him, on the gold nimbus of the ruler, the gold fringes of his sash and the gold handle of his sword. Slight loss to red pigments around the neckline of his blouse and above his shoulder. All of these are visible in the catalog illustration. Slight further abrasions with infilling to blue pigment of the river, along the extreme left vertical edge of the painting and few minor abrasions to green ground at lower center. The color tones are slightly deeper in reality.

Catalogue Note
Riding at full gallop on his chestnut-brown stallion, a nimbated Maharana Jagat Singh II (1709-1751) of Udaipur, leans down with his saber slashing a boar on the run. Three retainers running alongside, two carrying chowries and the other a gold and black standard - all symbols of the Rana's royal authority. Against a brilliant verdigris hillside with moss-green foreground and background - creating an abstracted interplay of green shades and highlighted by vermillion-orange and gold costume details. White temples with townscapes populated with cowherds carrying milk jugs, accompanied by herds of cows in the hilly landscape beyond.
