EDITORS COMMENTS
The Processional Portrait of Prince Bhawani Singh of Sitamau, created in 1855 by Pyara Singh (attributed to), is a stunning display of traditional Rajput courtly life. This print captures the essence of Indian royalty during the mid-nineteenth century, despite British rule. In this artwork, we witness Prince Bhawani Singh mounted on a magnificent charger adorned with vibrant colors and protected by horse armor. The attention to detail is impeccable, as each principal figure is identified through Devangari inscriptions. On the reverse side, a six-line git or song of praise for the prince further enhances his regal stature. The painting depicts an important moment in history - the monarch and his entourage embarking on a royal hunting expedition. It serves as a testament to how deeply rooted traditional values were within Rajput culture at that time. Modeled after earlier Rajasthani equestrian portraits, this piece showcases not only artistic mastery but also cultural continuity amidst changing times. Through gouache, silver, and gold on paper techniques employed by Singh, every stroke breathes life into this historical narrative. This particular print resides at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Its acquisition was made possible through The Katherine Kittredge McMillan Memorial Fund's generous support. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to experience the grandeur and majesty that once defined Indian princely states like Sitamau.
