The Elephant of Maharana Jai Singh of Mewar (r. 1680–98) Catches a — Restored Rajput Wall Art

The elephant driver holds his hands and the goad helplessly up in the air as the frenzied royal elephant grabs the tail of a galloping horse with its trunk. The horse rider turns around in astonishment and tries to whip the elephant’s trunk. A group of royal servants run erratically and try to contain the elephant.

Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Mewar, c. 1680. Original medium: Gum tempera, ink, and gold on paper.

Worth knowing: The servant dressed in mauve jama (belted tunic) attempts to light a firecracker to frighten the elephant.
