Indian Miniature: Sawai Madho Sing Maharadja Of Jaipur

Astonishing Indian miniature representing Sawai Madhi Singh I maharaja of Jaipur between 1750 and 1768. This work, from the Jaipur school, is certainly from the mid-20th century, but it brilliantly illustrates the pictorial tradition of this city, which is currently dying for lack of heirs who can make a living from this complex and subtle art. This resumption of a known image is in no way a slavish copy, but a living tribute from the artist to a centuries-old culture. It shows brilliantly, respect, tenderness, and a touch of humor, an obese body, but sanctified by its function We are far from our contingencies, and it is a pleasure to watch think differently The soft green plumetis of the background respects the old codes, the little ones. gold highlights are lovely. Good contemporary black and gold frame.
