Descriptions

Description
Description:
The painting features a male figure, identified by the inscription as a man named “Nar Singh Das Narouk” about to deliver a fatal blow with his sword to a large, male, bloodied boar. Narouk wears a green decorated shirt with yellow decorated trousers and orange shoes. His green turban matches the pattern of his shirt. He raises his bloodied sword way past his head with two hands. The sword’s scabbard hangs from Narouk’s waist. His white horse lies on the ground and appears to be injured. Rajput Style.
