Further, in Cave 17 there are three paintings by one hand very different from all the rest. They are (1) a hunt of lions and black buck;² (2) a hunt of elephants;³ and (3) an elephant salaaming in a king’s court—the companion picture to No. 2. These pictures are composed in a light and shade scheme which can scarcely be paralleled in Italy before the seventeenth century. They are nearly monochrome (warm and cool greys understood), except that the foliage and grass are dull green.
