Umed Singh of Kota Hunting Lions, c. 1785-1790. India, Rajasthan, Kota, 18th century. Brush drawing with slight color on paper; overall: 39 x 52 cm (15 3/8 x 20 1/2 in.). A family of lions with two cubs is caught unawares by royal huntsmen amid a tangle of jungle by the side of a stream. The adult lions twist around, startled by the sound of the horn intended to drive them out of the safety of their glade. The men, other than the ruler at the left, have turbans camouflaged with leaves, and they surround the lions, ready to let spears and arrows fly.
