Drawing of a Soldier Giving Water to a Seated Soldier
18th century
Description
A male soldier stands in front of another who is crouched on the ground. Both of them wear turbans, long robes (jama), and waist sashes (patka) with swords tucked into them. The standing solider also has a punch dagger (katar) under his waist sash, which is faintly-drawn. He pours water from a small vessel (lotto) into a small cup that the crouched solider simultaneously holds up and drinks from. His hands have been reworked, as signified by the patch of opaque water color. Rajput Style, Kota School.
