The scene depicted in this print showcases a Native Trooper, a gentleman of high caste from Bengal, galloping on his horse. His proud and dashing demeanor is evident as he focuses intently on the path ahead. Riding alongside him is his groom, who attends to the horse's needs, ensuring its caparison remains in place. The Native Trooper's regal attire and the elegantly adorned horse add to the grandeur of the image. The Native Troopers of Bengal were known for their pride and dashing personalities, and this print beautifully encapsulates their spirit.
