EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century opaque watercolor and gold on paper depicts Maharaja Kalyan Singh, the ruler of a princely state in Hindustan during the late 18th century. The Maharaja is shown in regal attire, seated on a cliff overlooking a serene body of water with a falcon perched on his gloved hand. The falcon, a symbol of power and nobility, represents the Maharaja's prowess as a falconer. The Maharaja is accompanied by several boys, possibly his courtiers or attendants, who are dressed in traditional Indian clothing. The green and olive hues of the landscape, with its cliffs, natural phenomena, and birds, add to the serene and picturesque setting. The Maharaja's turban and intricately designed clothing, adorned with gold, reflect the grandeur and wealth of the aristocracy during this period. The image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and history of India during the 18th century, offering a fascinating insight into the lifestyle and traditions of the aristocracy and nobility." "This artwork is a testament to the artistic skills of the unknown artist, who has expertly captured the essence of the Maharaja's regal presence and the tranquil beauty of the natural surroundings. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or historical art, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history, culture, and art of India during the 18th century. This artwork is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
