Description
Rajasthani Portrait of Mughal Prince, India 18-19th C. A larger painting, but stylistically in line with the tradition of exquisitely detailed Indian miniatures. Verso has sticker reading "Portrait of a Mogul Prince / Rajistan 18th to 19th Century." It is not known whether this dating refers to time of subject's life or production of work, though facial features and iconography suggest Dara Shikoh (1615–59), eldest son and heir apparent of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The young prince, adorned with bejewelled turban and jewelry, faces left and holds a flower, which often symbolized accomplishment and sophistication in arts and culture. In black painted wood frame with gilt inner bevel and cloth matte.
Dimensions are 18 in h x 15 in w x .75 in d. Condition is good, with stain spots throughout and some discoloration consistent with age. Some tears and wear to frame and back. Please call or email for a detailed condition report.
