Antelope and deer hunt

The image depicts a painting titled "Antelope and deer hunt" by Govardhan. The painting shows a group of men on a hunting scene. Three men are visible; one man wears a white head covering, a green tunic, and white pants, and carries a long stick. Another man wears a brown shirt and hat, and raises his right arm. A third man kneels on the right, wearing a pink tunic and head covering, and holds a stick. The men appear to be hunting several animals, including antelopes and deer. The animals are running from the hunters. There are eight animals depicted: a cheetah chasing a black and white animal; a gray antelope; a brown deer; a tan deer with white spots; a yellow deer with white underbelly; a small brown rabbit; a tan antelope; and a spotted deer. The background features green grass, gray and purple rocks, several trees, and a blue sky. The painting is framed by a gold border with a rope-like design. The artwork appears to be an example of Indian miniature painting.
