A Family of Tartars, c. 1885. Creator: Unknown
A Family of Tartars, c. 1885. This painting depicts men of Turkic descent migrating into India from western Asia. No longer with the ambition to conquer, like the Turko-Mongol rulers Timur (d. 1405) and Babur (c. 1530), the first Mughal emperor, these migrants are seeking new lands in which to settle as immigrants. The highly detailed subjects are placed against a plain background, as if the figures were designed for objective study and categorization. Indian artists made works such as this for the British in India, who were interested in collecting accurate visual records of flora, fauna, and ethnic groups who inhabited the land they colonized in 1858

A Family of Tartars, c. 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the historical migration of men from Turkic descent into India during the late 19th century. Unlike their predecessors who sought conquest and power, these migrants were driven by the desire to find new lands and settle as immigrants in search of better opportunities. The painting showcases an exquisite level of detail, with each subject meticulously portrayed against a plain background. It almost feels as if they were intended for objective study and categorization, highlighting the artistic skill and precision employed by Indian artists at that time. This particular artwork was created for the British in India, who had a keen interest in collecting accurate visual records not only of flora and fauna but also of various ethnic groups inhabiting the colonized land. The painting serves as an important record documenting both cultural diversity and historical movements within India during this period. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this masterpiece remains shrouded in mystery regarding its creator. Nevertheless, it stands as a testament to the rich heritage art produced in Punjab's city Lahore during that era. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has brought forth this remarkable piece through their expertise in preserving historical prints like "A Family of Tartars". Its presence allows us to delve deeper into our past while appreciating the intricate beauty captured on ink, watercolor, and gold on paper.
