The skilled players on their magnificent horses display remarkable agility and precision as they compete for victory. Their colorful attire reflects the traditional Indian clothing style, adding an element of cultural authenticity to the scene. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each character depicted in this artwork. From the intense expressions on the faces of both players and spectators to the dynamic movement captured within each horse's stride, every aspect contributes to a sense of energy and excitement.
