EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the regal figure of Raja Kirpal Pal of Basohli, dating back to the late 17th century. Created by an anonymous Indian artist from the renowned Basohli school, this exquisite piece measures 19x29 cm and is adorned with gouache and gold paint on paper. The composition depicts a small group of men in a leisurely setting, highlighting the recreational activities of the time. Raja Kirpal Pal takes center stage, seated on the floor with his attendants nearby. The richly detailed apparel and headwear worn by all three individuals reflect their Asian ethnicity and social status. Intriguingly, smoke emanates from a waterpipe held by one of the attendants, adding an element of mystique to this remarkable portrayal. The yellow background further enhances the vibrancy and allure of this early 18th-century masterpiece. Through its meticulous attention to detail and striking portraiture style, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into both Hinduism and Islamic art influences prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to not only artistic skill but also cultural significance. Preserved within a private collection today, this rare print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate centuries-old craftsmanship while immersing themselves in India's rich history.
