Description
A nobleman carried in a palanquin across a hillside accompanied by soldiers and bearers walking alongside, Jodhpur, circa 1830, gouache and gold on paper, narrow gold border, 23.6 x 32.5cm. Note: The subject of this miniature bears a strong resemblance to the military leader Amir Khan who was very active and well remunerated during the reign of Maharaja Man Singh of Jodhpur (reg. 1804-1843). For further discussion and comparison see R. Crill, Marwar Painting, Mumbai 1999, pp. 93-115. See also R. M. Cimino, Life at Court in Rajasthan, Florence 1985, no. 12.
