About the piece

This mid-19th-century work from the Mewar school of Rajasthan depicts a Maharana engaged in a ritual act of worship. The central deity is set against a vibrant blue field, creating a bold contrast with the meticulously detailed figures and the array of ritual vessels in the foreground. Typical of Rajput court paintings, the work combines spiritual depth with the elegant formality of royal life.
