EDITORS COMMENTS
Image 5 of 6 in the series "Battling Elephants," created around 1700, showcases a captivating Saluki dog in the midst of the vibrant and intricate combat scene. The 18th century artwork, hailing from the Basohli school in the Punjab region of India, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia. The opaque watercolor, gold, and sections of beetle carapace on paper depict a powerful and determined Saluki dog, poised to jump into the fray. The dog's muscular body is rendered with remarkable detail, from the intricate patterns on its coat to the veins visible beneath its skin, suggesting the violence and intensity of the battle. The dog's keen focus and alert posture convey a sense of courage and loyalty, as if he is a loyal companion to the men depicted in the scene. The use of yellow and other bright colors adds to the overall vibrancy and energy of the artwork, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The exact origin and creator of this masterpiece remain unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of India during the 1700s.
