EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of Shuja-ud-Dawlah, the Nawab of Oudh, in 1772. Painted by Tilly Kettle, this oil on canvas print measures 127.3x101.8 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. Shuja-ud-Dawlah's powerful gaze and dignified posture reflect his status as a prominent figure in Indian history. As governor of Oudh and a vassal of the Mughal emperor, he played a significant role in shaping the region's political landscape during his reign from 1754 to 1775. Although Shuja-ud-Dawlah faced setbacks such as failing to eject the British from Bengal and being defeated at Baksar in 1764, he later regained control over Oudh with British aid. With their support, he successfully conquered Rohilla country. The intricate details captured by Kettle highlight not only Shuja-ud-Dawlah's grandeur but also his distinctive attire. The Nawab is depicted wearing an Eastern-inspired costume adorned with fur accents and an elegant hat that adds to his air of authority. This portrait serves as a testament to both Shuja-ud-Dawlah's resilience and his collaboration with foreign powers to maintain control over Oudh. It offers viewers a glimpse into India's rich historical tapestry while showcasing Kettle's skillful portrayal of this influential figure from
