EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a grand procession of a Raja on an elephant, accompanied by an armed escort and retainers. Created in the second half of the 19th century by an Indian School artist, this gouache on paper artwork measures 40.2x55.2 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford in the UK. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this historical moment from north-west India's Punjab Hills region. The Raja, adorned in regal attire, sits atop the majestic elephant as they make their way through a bustling crowd. The armed escort adds an air of authority and protection while retainers follow closely behind. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the opulence and power associated with Indian royalty during this time period. It showcases not only artistic skill but also cultural significance as processions like these were common displays of wealth, status, and influence. The painting's association with Asia further emphasizes its connection to Indian heritage and traditions. It serves as a testament to the rich history that unfolded within these lands. As we admire this masterpiece from the late 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness this grand spectacle unfold before our eyes. It is a true celebration of artistry and culture that continues to captivate viewers even today.
