A similar painting of a bear hunt was sold in these Rooms 14 April 1976, lot 60. The note to that entry compares it to f.101 in the Large Clive Album in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The artist, Tahir, who was originally attached to Aurangzeb's atelier, is briefly discussed by J Seyller: "The Inspection and valuation of manuscripts in the Imperial Mughal Library" Artibus Asiae, vol.LVII, no¾, p.317.
