About the piece

This striking portrait from the Sawar school of Rajasthan (c. 1730) depicts a noblewoman in an elegant profile. Adorned with traditional jewelry—including a pearl-rimmed nose ring and multiple necklaces—she holds a single rose, a common motif in Rajput painting symbolizing refinement and sensory pleasure. The subject is framed by a decorative jharokha window sill and an arch with vibrant yellow floral scrollwork.
