Portrait of Raja Jagat Singh of Nurpur (reigned 1618-46), probably 1619. Creator: Bichitr (Indian
Portrait of Raja Jagat Singh of Nurpur (reigned 1618-46), probably 1619. Jagat Singh was a prince from a small kingdom in the western Himalayan foothills who grew up at the imperial Mughal court of Jahangir and his queen Nur Jahan. He was given the title of prince in 1619, and this painting may commemorate that event. Very few nobles from the hill states had positions at the Mughal court at this time, so his portrait is a rare imperial Mughal painting. The emperor and his favorite wife frequently visited Nurpur, named " City of Light" in their honor, to hunt and relax, and Prince Jagat Singh was a favorite of the queen. She interceded on his behalf in 1624, when he joined a rebellion to dethrone her husband

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Raja Jagat Singh of Nurpur, a prince from a small kingdom nestled in the western Himalayan foothills. Born into nobility, he had the privilege of growing up at the imperial Mughal court of Jahangir and his influential queen, Nur Jahan. Created by the talented Indian artist Bichitr in 1619, this painting is believed to commemorate Jagat Singh's appointment as prince that same year. During this period, very few nobles from the hill states held positions at the esteemed Mughal court. Hence, this portrait holds great significance as a rare example of imperial Mughal artistry. The emperor and his beloved wife frequently visited Nurpur – aptly named "City of Light" in their honor – for hunting excursions and relaxation. Prince Jagat Singh was particularly favored by Queen Nur Jahan herself. In fact, her fondness for him became evident when she intervened on his behalf during a rebellion aimed at dethroning her husband in 1624. This act further solidified their bond and showcased her unwavering support for young Jagat Singh. Painted with opaque watercolors and adorned with gold accents on paper, this masterpiece now resides within the prestigious collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, it serves as an enduring testament to both artistic excellence and historical intrigue within India's rich cultural heritage.
