EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century watercolor and gold ink portrait depicts Prince Raj Singh of Bikaner, a prominent Maharaja (ruler) from the Rajput kingdom of Rajasthan, India. The portrait, dated between c1775 and c1785, showcases the Maharaja's regal attire and distinctive facial hair. Raj Singh is seen wearing a red turban adorned with intricate gold and silver embellishments, a long, flowing red robe, and a golden headdress. His beard, styled in a thick, curled fashion, frames his face, adding to his majestic appearance. The portrait, created using opaque watercolor techniques, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Hindustan (India) during the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Maharaja's persona to life, capturing the essence of royalty and power. Raj Singh II, also known as Raj Singh of Bikaner, ruled the princely state of Bikaner from 1775 to 1787. The portrait may have been created during his reign as a symbol of his power and wealth. The use of gold ink adds an element of luxury and grandeur, further emphasizing the Maharaja's status. This historic portrait is a valuable addition to any collection focused on Asian art, 18th century fashion, or the history of royalty in India. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia and the intriguing world of Maharajas.
