The Son of Bahadur Singh Enthralled by the Mesmerizing Nautch Dance, c. 1800
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 19th century, we witness a moment frozen in time as The Son of Bahadur Singh gazes upon a mesmerizing nautch dance performance. The opulent and vibrant colors of opaque watercolor and gold on paper bring to life the rich cultural heritage of India. The nautch was an enchanting court dance performed by talented girls known as "nautch girls". This popular form of entertainment captivated audiences with its graceful movements and rhythmic footwork. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that even young nobles like The Son of Bahadur Singh were enthralled by its allure. Surrounded by a group of spectators, both royal courtiers and commoners alike, our protagonist kneels attentively while watching the performance unfold before him. His traditional attire reflects his noble lineage - adorned with a turban and draped in a striking striped blanket. The ambiance is further enhanced by the presence of hookahs, tobacco pipes traditionally used for smoking flavored tobacco. These elements transport us to an era where artistry thrived amidst regal settings. This remarkable artwork now resides within the San Diego Museum of Art's prestigious Edwin Binney 3rd Collection. It serves as a testament to India's rich artistic legacy and offers us a glimpse into the splendorous world that once existed within royal courts.
