A nobleman in orange robes rides a prancing horse across a soft sage ground, accompanied by a smaller figure seated behind him, rendered in the jewel-toned palette and precise linear style of 18th-century Rajasthani miniature painting. Gold leaf accents and intricate patterning on the horse's caparison create a sense of courtly grandeur and movement frozen in time. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
