In this partially-colored sketch, hunters encircle a wooded area within a quarry filled with animals. On the left, two hunters carry swords as they come across their hounds attacking a tiger. On the right, four hunters enter the woods. A tiger reclines nearby. At the top of the tree-lined quarry are four figures. The foreground features a large river with a boat. A group of hounds attack another tiger in the water, near the bank. Rajput Style, Kota or Bundi School.
