Maharana Sarup Singh admira un valioso caballo

1845–46
Not on view
Tara, el pintor más importante del taller de Maharana Sarup Singh, marajá de Mewar, lo representa admirando un valioso semental, rodeado de un gran séquito de cortesanos. Los elementos textiles ricamente decorados, entre ellos la alfombra de verano y el dosel, transforman el pabellón al aire libre en una morada casi palaciega. Tara era un consumado cronista de los acontecimientos más importantes de la vida del marajá en el palacio de Udaipur y en las tierras de su reino. Una inscripción al dorso identifica al marajá, al caballo y a los principales cortesanos, por lo que es posible que esta pintura documente un acontecimiento específico, tal vez el cumpleaños del monarca.
