About the piece
Dating to approximately 1760, this striking portrait depicts Thakur Utham Ram in a moment of quiet repose. Seated upon a decorative carpet and supported by plush patterned bolsters, the subject is rendered with the meticulous precision characteristic of Indian court painting. The composition contrasts the subject's finely detailed white jama and ornate hookah against a serene, flat blue background, creating a timeless and sophisticated decorative piece.
