A Stallion, 18th century, Attributed to Iran, Ink on paper, 5 in. high 6.50 in. wide (12.7 cm high 16.5 cm wide), Codices, This powerful stallion with its oddly drawn head and broad forehead deviates from the sixteenth– and seventeenth–century norm of Persian steeds with long, elegant necks and large hindquarters. Instead it conforms to the eighteenth century images of the dappled grey horse of Nadir Shah, the Zand ruler who sacked Delhi in 1739 and led many campaigns against the Ottomans
