Item Description

Vintage Indian painting on glass depicting a powerful seated royal figure, identified as Maharaja Jaswant Singh II of Jodhpur (Marwar, reigned 1873–1895). This artwork is a wonderful example of the Colonial or Company School style, which flourished in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often adapting traditional miniature styles to new media like glass, sometimes based on popular photographic studio portraits of the era. The Maharaja is richly adorned, featuring fine jewelry, a distinctive turban, and a long flowing jama (robe) draped dramatically over his lap. He is posed in a formal manner, leaning on a cane, with a book and a small vase of flowers on an adjacent table, reflecting a fusion of traditional Indian artistry and Western portraiture conventions. The piece is set in its original antique-look wooden frame.
