Portrait of Sardar Singh (Son of Savant Singh, 1730-68), c. 1760. Creator: Unknown
Portrait of Sardar Singh (Son of Savant Singh, 1730-68), c. 1760. The ruler of the princely state of Kishangarh chose to have himself depicted in an intoxicatingly paradisiacal setting. He and his queen occupy jeweled chairs on a white marble terrace with formal flower gardens overlooking a lake. They listen to a musical performance while female attendants stand ready to whisk away flies and serve tiny bottles liquor. The fresh palette and dramatically elongated eyes, especially on the women, are hallmarks of the most celebrated works from this Rajput court. The king is portrayed with less exaggerated features than the women, which makes him seem more human, despite the halo that sets off his face and elaborate turban

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Sardar Singh (Son of Savant Singh, 1730-68), c. 1760". The ruler of the princely state of Kishangarh, Sardar Singh, opted for a truly paradisiacal setting to depict himself and his queen. They are seated on opulent jeweled chairs placed on a pristine white marble terrace overlooking formal flower gardens and a serene lake. As they enjoy a mesmerizing musical performance, female attendants stand by attentively, ready to whisk away any pesky flies or serve them tiny bottles of liquor. The painting's fresh palette and strikingly elongated eyes, particularly on the women, are characteristic features found in the most celebrated works from this Rajput court. Interestingly, while the king is portrayed with less exaggerated features than the women surrounding him, he appears more relatable and human due to this contrast. A halo gracefully frames his face along with an elaborate turban that adds regality to his presence. Created using opaque watercolor and gold on paper in Rajasthan's Kishangarh region in northwestern India during an unknown artist's time period; this artwork now resides at The Cleveland Museum of Art. This remarkable piece not only reflects the artistic brilliance but also offers us a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur prevalent during that era in Indian history.
