The Golconda painting Composite Horse has a limited colour schema. Apart from some blue, in the shades of which colour does it largely remain?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Brown

Option (2) Purple — Incorrect. Purple hue is amply applied in the Diwan of Hafiz pages from Golconda.
Option (3) Green — Incorrect. Olive and emerald green colour the forest foliage of Sultan Ibrahim Adil Shah II hawking.
Option (4) Brown — Correct. The limited colour schema of Composite Horse stays largely in shades of brown.
Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “Composite Horse The painting is a curious mix of many artistic devices, which culminate as Composite Horse. …A certain dislocation of sense of space happens, making this painting a memorable visual experience. All actions happen within limited colour schema, which remains largely in the shades of brown and some blue.”
