The school of Kotah derives from the small court of Kota, dated to the 17th-19th century. Mughals established Kotah as an independent state from Bundi to be ruled by a branch of the family in 1631 and stylistically, the early art of Kotah followed the Bundi model and concentrated on Ragamala and Baramasa painting. As it flourished in the 18th century, there was a marked increase in the production of hunting scenes - tigers prowling dense jungles of tightly composed foliage, with hunters interspersed between the trees. The figures have a ruddier complexion in comparison to Bundi painting, with sculpturally modeled features.

Literature comparison:
See S. C. Welch, Gods, Kings and Tigers: the Art of Kotah, 1997, p. 203, no. 63, for Ram Singh playing polo, in a painting dated 1838. Compare a related miniature painting depicting Maharao Ram Singh II of Kotah hunting with Maharao Ram Singh of Bundi (reigned 1826-1866), dated circa 1880, in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number M.75.19.
