The artwork, executed with pen and ink as well as wash on paper, measures 28x39.4 cm and is part of a private collection. In this mesmerizing scene, we find Raja Balwant Dev Singh standing in a courtyard adorned in an achkan over striped pyjamas. Holding a sword firmly in his hand, he gazes intently at the elegant swan before him. The king's regal presence exudes power and authority while his piercing stare reveals both curiosity and admiration for the graceful creature. Nainsukh's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous depiction of the king's attire, capturing every fold of fabric with precision. The artist skillfully portrays Raja Balwant Dev Singh's noble features, emphasizing his status as a monarch. The inclusion of the swan adds an element of symbolism to the composition. Known for their beauty and gracefulness, swans often represent purity and elegance. Its presence alongside the powerful ruler suggests harmony between man-made authority and nature's inherent beauty.
