EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a moment in history when Chir Singh, the Maharajah of the Sikhs and King of the Punjab, embarks on a hunting expedition near Lahore. The image showcases an impressive retinue accompanying him as they traverse dusty terrain astride majestic horses and mighty elephants. The scene is filled with energy and action as the group moves swiftly through the landscape. Chir Singh, dressed in regal attire, exudes authority and power befitting his royal status. His loyal subjects follow closely behind on horseback, armed with spears that symbolize their readiness for any challenge that may arise during this exhilarating hunt. The lithograph beautifully portrays the vibrancy of India's rich cultural heritage. It offers a glimpse into the life of a ruler who effortlessly balances his responsibilities as both king and hunter. As he leads his retinue through this adventure-filled pursuit, one can almost feel their excitement palpable in every stroke of Louis Henri de Rudder's engraving. This artwork from Prince Alexis Soltykoff's Voyages dans l'Inde not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a testament to the grandeur and splendor associated with Indian royalty.
