About the piece
Dating to approximately 1700, this vibrant Indian miniature painting from the Mewar school captures Maharana Amar Singh I of Mewar in a formal assembly. The work is characterized by the bold use of a saturated red ground, contrasting with the finely detailed white terrace and the intricate patterns of the figures' turbans and textiles. Typical of the Udaipur court style, the composition emphasizes hierarchical status through the use of ceremonial objects like the parasol (chhatri) and fly-whisk (chauri).
