|For a very similar Deccani treatment of the same subject (dated 1650-1700), see Francesca Galloway, Indian Miniatures and Works of Art, Autumn 2003, no. 4. There is another closely related work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. no. 1992.17) of the same period. However, another similar painting, which appeared at Sotheby's (Oriental Manuscripts and Miniatures, 29th April 1998, lot 82), was described as a representation of the constellation Leo, in composite form.
