watercolour and gouache on paper, signed lower right, undeciphered, image 50.5 x 69cm, framed and glazed

The scene depicted is possibly that of the Battle of Yuthahatthi of 1593, though may be a fictionalised version on loosely related to this event. The watercolour is closely related to a work in the Walters Art Museum, 2002, acc. no. 35.229. The work in Baltimore is in oil but shares elements of the composition, notably in the elephants in the foreground. The subject and significance of this painting is discussed at length by Dr Rebecca S. Hall in a paper she contributed to the Journal of the Walters Art Museum, Vol. 73 (2018), pp. 35-42, entitled Painting History.
