EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Maharana Amar Singh II, the ruler of Mewar Kingdom in the late 17th century, indulging in a moment of leisure. The Maharana is depicted smoking a sheep-shaped hookah, an opulent symbol of his status and wealth. The intricate details of this artwork, created with opaque watercolors and gold on paper by Stipple Master around 1705, showcase the artist's skill and attention to detail. The Maharana's profile is highlighted against a backdrop of vibrant summer clothes and traditional robes adorned with peacock feathers. His turban adds to his regal appearance as he enjoys his tobacco pipe. This image offers a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by royalty during this time period. Displayed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA as part of the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection, this painting provides insight into Indian culture and history. It serves as a reminder that even powerful rulers like Maharana Amar Singh II found moments for relaxation amidst their responsibilities. As we observe this artwork, we are transported back to an era when smoking was seen as an addiction rather than a health concern. It invites us to reflect on how societal attitudes towards tobacco have evolved over time while appreciating the artistic mastery captured within this piece.
