EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts Maharaja Kesari Singh, also known as Kesava Sen (1574-1604), a prominent ruler from the hill state of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, India. The Maharaja is depicted in full regalia, wearing a richly colored coat and a headdress adorned with gold and precious stones. He holds a bow and a quiver of arrows in his hands, signifying his status as a skilled warrior and hunter. The portrait is rendered in opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper, with intricate details that bring out the textures and patterns of the Maharaja's clothing. Maharaja Kesari Singh ruled the princely state of Mandi from 1585 until his death in 1604. He was a powerful ruler who expanded his territories and maintained a strong military force. This portrait, created in the 1720s, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Maharaja's court. The use of bold colors and intricate details reflects the rich artistic traditions of Hindustan and South East Asia during this period. The portrait is a valuable addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which holds an extensive collection of Asian art. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the artistic achievements of the region during the 18th century. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Indian subcontinent and its rulers, who continue to inspire and intrigue scholars and enthusiasts alike.
