EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of Maharana Bhim Singh of Mewar as he stands in profile, accompanied by a regal hawk perched on his arm. The photograph, taken in Udaipur (Mewar) Rajasthan around 1805, showcases the artistic brilliance of Chokha, an Indian artist from the late 18th to early 19th century. Measuring at an impressive size of 107x59 cm and housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India. Maharana Bhim Singh ruled over Mewar from 1778 to 1828 and was known for his love for falconry and hunting. The composition exudes an air of power and authority with its depiction of a moonlit night adorned with a crescent moon. The ruler's full-length portrait highlights his royal attire consisting of a turban and traditional clothing. A sword rests by his side while he confidently holds onto his walking stick or cane. Notably, beside him stands a loyal dog while peacocks gracefully roam nearby. This image beautifully encapsulates the symbiotic relationship between man and nature during that era. With intricate details executed using gouache with gold on cloth technique, this artwork exemplifies Chokha's mastery as an artist. It serves as both historical documentation and visual delight for admirers seeking glimpses into India's glorious past.
