EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Maharana Jagat Singh Hawks for Cranes, dated 1744" created by Shiva and Dayal. This masterpiece belongs to the Mewar School of art, which flourished in 18th century India. The painting depicts a captivating scene where Maharana Jagat Singh II, the monarch of Mewar, is engaged in hawking. In this vibrant composition, we witness the king mounted on his majestic horse as he leads a group of falconers through a picturesque landscape. Rays of golden sunlight pierce through the clouds, casting an ethereal glow upon the riders and their birds of prey. The artist's skillful use of ink and gold on paper brings forth intricate details that breathe life into every stroke. The juxtaposition between hawks and cranes symbolizes power and grace within nature. Maharana Jagat Singh II's passion for hunting is evident as he commands his loyal companions with regal authority. This artwork not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this opulent watercolor painting offers viewers an enchanting glimpse into Rajasthan's royal history. It stands as a reminder of the artistic brilliance that thrived during this era while honoring both Shiva and Dayal for their contribution to Indian artistry.
