From the exhibition label: In [this] drawing, which combines aerial and linear perspectives, Maharaja Raj Singh of Sawar (r. 1705-30) receives a yogi on the terrace of his private garden. Both men are flanked by attendants. The lower half of the composition shows an enclosed garden organized on a grid plan, with a central fountain from which assorted birds drink. Each plot is planted with a different species of tree and populated by a miscellany of birds.
