A Hunt with Trained Cheetahs

A Hunt with Trained Cheetahs

Indian

The drawing seems to depict a continuous narrative that features a trained cheetah pursuing a herd of gazelle. On the left the feline is shown sitting and then leaping off a carriage, followed by chasing and killing a gazelle. The top left corner shows two male figures that appear to be in conversation. Rajput style, Kota school.

Black ink and watercolor over traces of charcoal on off-white laid paper
