EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling and heart-stopping moment from the early 19th century. In this intense scene, a lion launches a ferocious attack on a hunting party perched atop an elephant. Painted with opaque watercolors and gold on paper by an Indian School artist, this artwork measures 19x23 cm and is housed in the San Diego Museum of Art. The image showcases the bravery and skill of both the hunters and their majestic elephant companion as they confront one of nature's most formidable predators. The composition highlights the danger that lurks in the wild, with guns, bows, and arrows ready for action against this fearsome big cat. The landscape surrounding them adds to the drama, providing a stunning backdrop as these courageous individuals face off against their adversary. From horseback riders to sportswomen and sportsmen alike, everyone is united in their quest for victory over this powerful creature. Notably, it is fascinating to observe how each character plays their part in this gripping tableau - whether it be wielding weapons or maneuvering through perilous terrain while mounted on elephants. The tusks of these gentle giants stand out prominently as they charge forward fearlessly into battle. This extraordinary artwork serves as a testament to human courage in confronting nature's mightiest creatures while showcasing India's rich artistic heritage from centuries past.
