Looking for this guide.
Horses were important components in royal portraiture, processions, ragamalas (series of images related to verses associated with musical compositions), and narrative scenes. Kings also commissioned portraits of their favorite steeds. Pahari artists perfected their ability to depict horses by sketching with brushes and black pigment on handmade paper. White pigment was used to cover lines that the artist considered to be less than perfect.
