It was drawn in Dir, and the map should illustrate its approximate geographic location

A beautiful painting too. It does predate famous artists like Rattray who I do not think actually presented a Pulwar specifically.

What's the provenance with this one?
I see the museum stamp, is that where it is retained?

Awesome data, thanks for sharing.
