EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of a man on horseback, believed to be Maharaja Jai Singh II (1688-1743), dating back to around 1720. Created by the Indian School in the 18th century, this masterpiece measures 29.2 x 24.1 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image transports us to Ajmer or Marwar, Rajasthan, North India, where we witness the nobleman gracefully riding atop a majestic white stallion adorned with intricate henna designs. His attire consists of an elegant white jama complemented by a gold-woven turban and sash. Accompanying him are attendants carrying fly whisks made from peacock feathers and an exquisite sun-faced parasol. Set against a vibrant yellow background with buff borders, this painting exudes regality and opulence. The attention to detail is evident as every element comes together harmoniously to create an awe-inspiring composition. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the world of Indian nobility during that era – their love for horses, grandeur in dressing, and the presence of devoted attendants who catered to their every need. This print not only captures the essence of equestrianism but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India's royal past. It invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance while immersing themselves in the splendorous world depicted within it.
