Tethered and Chained Horse

Indian

This drawing depicts a caparisoned male horse. It is tethered by its bridle and its back feet are chained. His left back leg is raised. Rendered in profile, its ears are set back, eye widened, mouth agape, suggesting that is has been startled. Rajput Style, Kota School.
