| Historical context | G.S. Keith of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in a letter of Jan 25, 1961 (RP. 61/325) made this comment: "Scientifically it is interesting because these are not in fact the common Indian Sarus Crane, Grus antigone. They are a rather rare Tibetan Crane, Grus nigricollis, which nests in Tibet and winters in the Yunnan. It does not occur in India at all." |
| Production | After a 17th century original by Daulat the Elder. |
