On its neck the mahout throws up both arms, a hook raised. Three men in red, mauve and brown coats run alongside with long poles; the man in mauve holds out a smoking taper, his pole tipped with firecrackers. Paired white arched niches sit at the upper corners; a word, probably the elephant's name, is written on the red border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: gum tempera, ink and gold on paper, about 1680, The Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMewar school is the painting of the Sisodia court of Mewar in southern Rajasthan, at Chawand and later Udaipur, one of the most important schools of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its earliest dated work is a ragamala painted at Chawand in 1605 by Nasiruddin, and under Jagat Singh I (r. 1628–52) the painter Sahibdin led large projects, including a monumental Ramayana, in flat, bright colour with direct emotional appeal and little Mughal influence. Around 1700 an anonymous portraitist working in stippled grisaille brought intimate portraiture to the court, and later artists turned to large pictures of the ruler's darbars, festivals and hunts. Painting continued until 1949. Examples are held by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Minneapolis Institute of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
