About the piece
This 1720 Pahari miniature from Guler depicts Raja Dalip Singh seated on a decorative dais. Clad in a vibrant striped jama and holding a letter, the Raja is framed by the delicate, sweeping branches of a willow tree and a sturdy banyan, creating a scene of serene contemplation and administrative poise.
