Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

Answer:  Courtly activities and pastime of royals
In the eighteenth century, paintings shifted from textual representations to focus on courtly activities and the pastimes of royals.

Painting in the eighteenth century increasingly slithered away from textual representations to courtly activities and pastime of the royals. Mewar artists, generally, prefer a bright colour palette with prominent reds and yellows.
