EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Prisoner is Brought to Justice, Detail, c. 1610" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. Created by the Indian School in the 17th century, this artwork measures 7.62 x 12.38 cm and is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The image depicts a scene of punishment and justice being served as a prisoner is bound and brought before his captors. The use of opaque watercolor and gold adds an exquisite touch to this detailed portrayal. The floral and foliated borders surrounding the central focus create an ornate decorative frame that enhances its visual impact. In South Asian culture during this period, corporal punishment was prevalent for criminals who committed various crimes. This particular detail showcases a whipping taking place as part of the prisoner's punishment. Through this artwork, we gain insight into historical practices within India's criminal justice system centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of how societies have evolved over time while shedding light on past customs and traditions. As we observe every intricate detail captured by the Indian School artist, we are transported back to an era where justice was delivered with firmness but also adorned with artistic finesse.
