In a moment of dramatic crisis, Rao Raja Bhoj Singh of Bundi charges forward on his steed, sword raised to defend an attendant from a ferocious lion. The composition, characteristic of the Kota school of painting, is a whirlwind of action, layering figures and animals in a dynamic, theatrical scene.
A rich palette of deep greens, earthy ochres, and crisp whites brings the scene to life. The intricate detail and bold use of color create a powerful sense of energy and valor, making this work a captivating focal point that tells a story of courage.
As a large-scale canvas print, this piece makes a magnificent statement above a console or in a study. Integrated into a gallery wall, the print adds a layer of historical depth and narrative intrigue. It complements both classic and modern interiors, bringing a worldly, curated feel to a living room or bedroom.
This masterpiece of 18th-century Indian art, attributed to the celebrated Kota Master, captures the peak of Rajput court painting. This recreation is printed to order on heavyweight, archival matte paper with pigment-based inks for gallery-quality color and longevity. Each print is restored by Surrealium at Vaxholm Fortress, Sweden.
