Maharana Sarup Singh admira um cavalo valioso

Tara

Not on view

Esta pintura de Tara, o pintor mais importante do ateliê de Maharana Sarup Singh, representa o marajá de Mewar admirando um cavalo valioso com um grande séquito de cortesãos. Os elementos têxteis ricamente decorados, entre eles o tapete de verão e o dossel, transformam esse pavilhão ao ar livre, onde repousa o marajá, em uma morada quase palaciana. Tara era um consumado cronista dos grandes eventos na vida do marajá, o cavalo e os principais cortesãos, o que sugere que esta pintura documenta um evento específico, talvez o aniversário do monarca.
