EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph from 1828 titled "Wife of a Rajah" we are transported to the vibrant world of 19th-century India. The artist, Marlet et Cie, beautifully captures the essence of a woman belonging to royalty, adorned in an exquisite sari that drapes elegantly around her. Her regal presence is enhanced by the intricate details of her dress and accessories. Seated on a lavish chair, she is accompanied by an attendant who holds a majestic parrot perched on his hand. The colorful bird adds a touch of liveliness to the scene, mirroring the rich hues found throughout this print. The concept behind this artwork seems to revolve around relaxation and leisure as we witness the wife of a Rajah enjoying some well-deserved downtime. She delicately fans herself with grace and poise while surrounded by opulent furniture that reflects her status. This lithograph not only showcases the beauty and fashion prevalent during this era but also provides us with insight into Indian culture and traditions. It offers us a glimpse into the lives led by those in positions of power within Indian society. As we admire this stunning piece from Jean Claude Carriere's collection, it becomes evident that Marlet et Cie has masterfully captured both artistic skill and historical significance in one frame. This print serves as an invaluable window into 19th-century Hindoostan (India), allowing us to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
