Maharaja Ranbir Singh

India (Jammu)

Not on view

This is likely a portrait of Ranbir Singh, an attribution supported by the inscription at the upper left identifying the subject as "Maharaja of Jammu." Great attention has been paid to his facial features, his striking upturned moustache, and his jeweled turban in contrast to the rather formulaic treatment of his body and the throne.
