Art365/346: A mountain goat

I love the mane on the mountain goat, and the glorious arches of his horns! The slight tiny and shade is all the artist used to bring the animal to life. The background is Persian mountains, in a beautiful shade of pink. The painting is likely to be pasted from a different album, suggests by the two rectangular patches on top and bottom. The border is lovely and with light colours, enhancing the quality of this 18th century Mughal folio.
