Tippoo Saib, also known as Tipu Sultan, was a prominent figure in Indian history during the late 18th century. Born in 1750, he ruled the Kingdom of Mysore and became known for his military prowess and resistance against British colonialism. Several artworks depict Tippoo Saib's life and encounters. An 1830 portrait of him shows an unknown artist's interpretation of his appearance. Another artwork from 1891 captures him at the Lines of Travancore, possibly painted by James Grant. The East India Company's Museum displays memorials dedicated to Tippoo Saib, showcasing his significance in history. Engravings depicting his death at the taking of Seringapatam highlight the intense battles fought during that period. One colorful lithograph portrays a dramatic encounter between Tippoo Saib and Baron von Dolfus during the siege of Seringapatam. This image showcases both their bravery on opposite sides. In another engraving, troops loyal to it can seen pillaging Madras, illustrating the chaos caused by war. The tomb shared by Hyder Ali and Tippoo Saib in Seringapatam is depicted through an intricate engraving as well. Moving away from warfare depictions, a grand buffet scene set in St. George's Hall showcases opulence during this era with no direct connection to Tippoo Saib himself. Additionally, there is an intriguing depiction of "Tippo Saibs peacock" from 1844 that highlights exotic elements associated with Indian culture. Lastly, Lord Cornwallis receiving the Sons painting reflects diplomatic relations between British officials and members of Tipu Sultan's family around the late 1780s or early 1790s.
