One team wearing European style clothes and hats, the other wearing turbans, Asian attire and sporting bristling moustaches. Galloping, prancing horses outstandingly depicted - the power and movement of these fine animals was clearly appreciated by the artist, who took pains to show them in marvellous detail.\u003cbr\u003eFascinating insight into the dress and style of both British and Indians of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003eThe background, painted in lighter tones is no less interesting.
