Collection of William P. Wood (1927-96), President of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from 1976-1980, acquired in India with Stuart Cary-Welch in 1957.

A mounted nobleman holding a long sharp spear - a Rathore thakur (nobleman) from a fiefdom of Marwar - rides his gray dappled stallion, accompanied by a retinue of his soldiers bearing swords, a spear, a hukkah and a black chauri ceremonial flywhisk. The group shown marching against a mossy green ground rising to a strip of cloudy blue

sky.
