A reproduction of a Rajasthani miniature painting featuring a finely ornamented horse posed against a stark black background. The steed’s regal posture and intricately patterned saddle cloth suggest its royal patronage, common in court paintings meant to document prized animals, lineage, and status. Framed by floral borders, this portrait reflects the visual language of Mughal and Rajput ateliers that prized both lifelike detail and symbolic embellishment.
