EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Maharaja Gulab Singh on Lake Wular in Kashmir, captured around 1840 by an Indian School artist. The artwork, created using gouache and gold paint on paper, measures 26.2x37 cm and is part of a private collection. The image transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of northern India during the mid-19th century. Against a backdrop of natural beauty, we witness a large group of men rowing across the serene lake under the warm glow of daylight. Among them stands Maharaja Gulab Singh himself, a mature man exuding power and authority. The scene evokes a sense of grandeur as it captures not only the military presence with mounted horses but also hints at religious significance through its distant depiction of Hindu temples dotting the landscape. This amalgamation reflects both historical context and cultural diversity present in this region. The use of gold paint adds an ethereal touch to this historic moment frozen in time. It highlights not only royalty but also signifies opulence and prosperity associated with Indian art forms like Islamic art prevalent during that era. Overall, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an era long gone - one filled with adventure, spirituality, and regal splendor amidst nature's breathtaking canvas.
