This painting captures three female Bhils on a hunting expedition in the Deccan region of central India. Clad in leaf skirts, the young women work together to stalk their prey. One shines an oil-fired lantern at a group of deer, illuminating the scene and startling the animals into stillness. This allows the central figure, clad in a red turban, to fire her arrow and accurately hit a black buck. The other animals register their alarm and begin to flee in terror.","remarks":"ASIA4_16-T3B-5_CLA  – Day 1 Cataloguing"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Before 1973–  Edwin Binney III (1925–1986).<br />1975–1985  Paul Wonner (1920–2008).<br />1985–2015  Private Collector (Los Angeles, CA).<br />2015–2016 Oliver Forge and Brendan Lynch, Ltd.
