He wears the visnuite tilak on his forehead, is topped with an orange turban with aigrette and is richly adorned. A katar is tucked into his belt and his hands rest on a talwar. Above his head, a name inscribed in Persian nasta'liq identifies him as raja Jagat Singh. Mounted as an album page on brown card stock with a wide orange border and fine turquoise and white borders. Gilded wooden frame.
Painting size: 16.1 x 9 cm; page size: 27 x 21.6 cm
Small stains, overpainting and accidents to the paper, wetness in the margins.
