Painting Of Mughal Composite Camel Rider

A mughal camel rider sits on a composite Camel comprised of courtiers, fishes, twofaced horse, rats completes its body and four crab legs appear as "shoes" on its feet. Fanciful depictions of composite animals particularly elephants, camels and horses likely had originally come to India via Persian and Indo-Islamic sources - however here our mahout is a mughal servant .The stylistic provenance of this work is elusive, with elements of Deccan, Rajasthan and Pahari elements intermixing, like the composite subject itself.
