An 18th-century Indian artist's take on Europeans

This image is a historical Indian miniature painting from Rajasthan, circa 1760-1800, depicting two elderly men in traditional attire, one with white hair and the other bald, both smiling and appearing to whisper or share a secret. The artwork, titled 'Parodies of Europeans,' is rendered in opaque watercolor and gold on paper. The men are shown in profile against a blue background, framed by a green border, with one holding a cane and the other gesturing with his hand. The painting is part of a collection at LACMA.
