About the work

The page features sketches of two female charioteers with two horses each executed in a European style. At the top of the page on either side are portraits of two men facing left. The one on the left a large nose and a dark beard. He wears a purple turban with a tuft of hair peeking from it and a robe (jama). The figure’s hands are clasped in front of him, as if in prayer. The figure on the right is younger, as suggested by bearing only a faint trace of a mustache. He wears a pink turban with a tuft of hair peeking from it, a pendant, and a robe. The style of their turbans denote they are Sikhs. The drawing can be attributed to the early 19th century because of the type of Sikh turban depicted was only fashionable at that time.
