EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century portrait depicts Maharao Ram Singh (r. 1827-1866), the ruler of Kota in Rajasthan, India, during the British Raj. The image, created around 1835, captures Maharao Ram Singh in regal attire, seated on a red and gold cushion, surrounded by a richly decorated environment. He wears a pink and red dress with intricate gold embroidery, a long, flowing robe, and a turban adorned with precious stones. His sideburns and handlebar mustache are meticulously groomed, adding to his distinguished appearance. Maharao Ram Singh holds a handheld fan in one hand and a sword in the other, symbolizing his power and authority. An attendant stands behind him, holding a parasol to shield the Maharao from the sun. The use of ink and opaque watercolor on paper adds depth and texture to the portrait, bringing the historic figure to life. This portrait offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the British colonial period. Maharao Ram Singh's regal attire, accessories, and the presence of his attendant reflect the grandeur and opulence of the time. The portrait is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the region, and serves as an important reminder of the complex and intriguing history of Hindoostan and the Indian subcontinent.
