Head of an elephant
Kota, 1700 - 1710

Elephants frenzied in their mast season and at the height of their formidable vitality, became a favourite subject for Kota artists. This fragmentary drawing shows a court elephant in mast, with a dark secretion flowing from his temple. His animated eye swims in a vortex of fluid lines and hatchings.
