Elephant Combat Over a Threshold

Elephant Combat Over a Threshold

Indian

On the right, a chained elephant charges over a threshold at an unchained elephant. Their heads have collided and their trunks intertwined. Between them, at the bottom, is a figure, most likely a trainer, who carries a long spear and runs towards the elephant on the left. Rajput style.

Ink and opaque watercolor on paper; Rajput Style
