介绍（中）	艺术家塔拉（Tara）主要在梅瓦尔的马哈拉纳萨鲁普·辛格（Sarup Singh，1842-61 年在位）统治期间工作，他经常使用正式的透视设备为他的大型绘画带来结构。在这张帐篷营地的宏伟照片中，我们看到马哈拉纳被赠送了一匹奖品种马，也许是纪念他生日的礼物。背面的铭文提到了马的名字，但没有提到正在庆祝的事件。统治者和他的朝臣，以及一群女歌手和舞者以及音乐家，都穿着粉红色的衣服——甚至服务员也戴上了粉红色的头巾，种马和猎狗的粉红色毯子——这是一个奇怪的特征，必须反映这个特殊但身份不明的场合。塔拉的作品介于晚期印度绘画传统和早期摄影实验之间。他的两个儿子都在他手下接受画家培训，小儿子莫汉拉尔在 1870 年代成为著名的摄影师。
介绍（英）	The artist Tara, who worked primarily during the reign of Sarup Singh (r. 1842–61), maharana of Mewar, often employed formal perspectival devices to bring structure to his large-scale paintings. In this grand picture of a tented camp, we see the maharana being presented with a prize stallion, perhaps a gift to mark his birthday. The inscription on the reverse refers to the horse by name but makes no reference to the event being celebrated. The ruler and his courtiers, along with a troupe of female singers and dancers with musicians, all wear pink dress—even the attendants have donned pink turbans, and the stallion and hunting dog pink blankets—a curious feature that must reflect this special but unidentified occasion. Tara’s work stands at the threshold between late Indian painting traditions and early experiments in photography. Both of his two sons trained under him as painters, and the younger, Mohanlal, became a well-known photographer in the 1870s.
