Courtly Action Wall Art

Courtly Action — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. The Kotah and Bundi ateliers of southeastern Rajasthan share a school and are jointly celebrated for hunting scenes — dramatic shikar chases through dense, lovingly painted jungle, a genre the Kotah workshops in particular made their signature. The royal tiger hunt was both a sport and a display of princely prowess. Marwar, the desert court of Jodhpur, prized horses and horseback sport above almost all else, and chaugan — the mounted stick-and-ball game from which modern polo descends — was a celebrated court pastime, often painted as a lively diagonal melee. The school is the most intense of the Rajasthan-plains traditions, with saffron and deep-red grounds and jewel-strong colour.
