EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the esteemed leader of the Sikh Empire, seated on a magnificent gold chair. The opulent scene is further enhanced by his attendants and servants who cater to his every need. A morchal-bearer stands dutifully by his side, while another servant serves him with utmost respect. Painted in 1830 by the Pahari School, this artwork measures 24.7x13.5 cm and is currently housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA as part of the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection. Ranjit Singh's significance as a ruler is evident through this piece, which captures both his regal stature and traditional Sikh attire. The image portrays an era of grandeur and power within Punjab during the nineteenth century. The maharaja's bare-chested presence exudes strength and authority, complemented by a fan that gently cools him in this luxurious setting. The inclusion of a fly whisk adds to the symbolism of leadership and control over one's surroundings. The elaborate canopy or marquee above signifies royalty and protection for its occupant. Overall, this painting offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating Maharaja Ranjit Singh's legacy as an influential figure in Indian history.
