Prince Amar Singh (1672–1710) Drives His Own Elephant

Mewar Stipple Master

A youthful prince clad in yellow <em>jama</em> (belted tunic) holds a goad in his hand to control his elephant. His attendant sits in the back holding the royal insignia, a flying whisk, which billows in response to the velocity with which the elephant is running. The background of the painting is monochromatic green, a highly corrosive pigment.
