EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Raja Balwant Dev Singh on a tiger hunt, dating back to approximately 1750. Painted with opaque pigments and adorned with gold on wasli, this masterpiece by Nainsukh (c. 1710-78) measures 20x42.9 cm and is part of a private collection. The image depicts an enthralling scene where the orange tiger takes center stage, surrounded by loyal dogs and four skilled horsemen. Raja Balwant Dev Singh himself commands attention as he confidently sits astride his majestic white horse. The composition exudes power and elegance as the prince prepares to confront this fierce wild animal. Set against a rural landscape in Asia, this artwork captures the essence of royal hunting traditions in India during that era. The horses gallop through the countryside while their riders wield spears, bows, and arrows in anticipation of their encounter with nature's apex predator. This photograph not only celebrates the bravery and skill of Raja Balwant Dev Singh but also highlights the endangered status of tigers today. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for future generations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical treasure from Indian art history, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and immerse ourselves in a world long gone by.
