Gouache on paper.
Gulab Singh was a high official in the court of the Sikh Emperor Maharaja Ranjit Singh and one of the most powerful leaders of the Sikh empire. After Ranjit Singh's death in 1839, Gulab Singh continued to play a crucial role in the politics of the region and later became the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir. Gulab and his brother Dhian were prominent figures in the history of 19th century Jammu and Kashmir, so much so that they are called the 'Dogra brothers' after the historical Duggar region.
Provenance: Private collection Tuscany.
