An incredible rare large original gold-leafed offset lithograph "Taking of a Town" after 17th century Indian painting. According to E. Blochet, this painting represents the capture of Kandahar in Afghanistan (1637) by Grand Mogul's troops under the command of Said Khan, the governor of Kabul. Possibly by Bitchitr Rai, as the Portrait of Said Khan which we also are offering for sale.
