The Rajah's Favourite
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edwin Lord Weeks, created between 1884 and 1889. This exquisite artwork measures 100.5 x 80 cm and is part of a private collection. The print beautifully captures the essence of this nineteenth-century masterpiece. In this outdoor scene, we are transported to a time when men gathered for leisurely pursuits in grand settings. A man stands at the entrance of an opulent building, patiently waiting with his pistol in hand. He exudes an air of authority and confidence as he commands the attention of those around him. The artist skillfully uses natural light to illuminate the scene, casting a warm glow on the figures present. Weeks' academic style shines through as he pays meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate architecture to the ornate door behind our protagonist. Orientalism is evident in this work as well, with its depiction of Asian ethnicity and elements inspired by Eastern culture. The rajah's favorite animal trainer stands nearby, showcasing their bond with one majestic creature. "The Rajah's Favourite" transports us back to a time when royalty reigned supreme and exoticism fascinated Western audiences. It serves as a testament to Weeks' talent for capturing historical moments with precision and grace. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance within this late nineteenth-century masterpiece while offering insight into both artistic techniques and societal values during that era.
