Lot Essay

The fine horse depicted here is closely comparable to a painting of a pink stallion from Sawar, which was sold in these Rooms 27 October 2023, lot 35. Despite the present painting being of a smaller scale, both paintings employ similar line shading to model the bodies of the stallions which both have a very similarly braided mane and sport a single white feather on the top of the bridle.
