Here the Rajput ruler sits unaffected by the gallop of his mount, with the trappings of a warrior and the devotional marks of a follower of the Hindu god Vishnu on his forehead. He is depicted as an ideal warrior king, pious, in full control, gazing ahead abstractly as though seeing an immutable truth. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1925.1337/1925.1337_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1925.1337/1925.1337_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1925.1337/1925.1337_full.tif
