A multi-register painting showing a procession of figures on elephants, horses, and soldiers in hills
The painting is divided into three horizontal registers, each depicting a segment of a procession moving from left to right across a hilly landscape. The background of each register features green hills with scattered trees and a pinkish-tan ground. In the top register, a large elephant, adorned in orange and red, carries two figures, one holding a staff, at the far left. Following the elephant are several figures on horseback, dressed in various colors including green, blue, and brown. A line of foot soldiers in red coats and white pants, carrying rifles, marches between the mounted figures. The middle register also begins with figures on horseback, followed by a similar line of red-coated foot soldiers. A central figure on a white horse, wearing a green robe and a tall white headdress, is positioned in the center of this register, appearing larger than the surrounding mounted figures. More mounted figures follow, some with colorful attire and turbans. The bottom register mirrors the composition, starting with mounted figures, then a line of red-coated foot soldiers. An elephant, similar in appearance to the one in the top register, is visible towards the left, appearing smaller in scale. The procession continues with more figures on horseback, dressed in a variety of colors.
