Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Equestrian portraits are not a prominent feature.
The correct information is that equestrian portraits are mentioned as a series of fine portraits in Bundi and Kota School paintings.

A distinct feature of Bundi and Kota School is a keen interest in the depiction of lush vegetation; picturesque landscape with varied flora, wildlife and birds; hills and thick jungles; and water bodies. It also has a series of fine equestrian portraits. The drawing of elephants is, particularly, unsurpassed in both Bundi and Kota. Bundi artists had their own standards of feminine beauty — women are petite with round faces, receding foreheads, sharp noses, full cheeks, sharply penciled eyebrows and a ‘pinched’ waist.
