A larger image of Bhil Tribespeople hunting deer at night, Davis Album, 18th century. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 30.95.174.20	A woman with a giant torch mesmerizes a deer. She may not be a member of the Bhil tribe (though her skirt resembles a Bhil skirt) but a lady of the court, indulging in a nocturnal adventure. This must have been a memorable event, with its own special mood, which the court artist was asked to preserve. The Walters Art Museum W.854
