注脚
A common visual device in Rajput paintings of prized horses in a royal stable, the groom serves as a stoic foil for this magnificent white stallion's gallant trot. A series of portraits of Maharana Ari Singh's favorite horses, in the National Gallery of Victoria, are well documented (see Topsfield, Paintings from Rajasthan, Melbourne, 1980, pp.126 & 128, nos.185 & 186). Provenance Ex-Collection of Ambassador Marc Menguy, Paris
