Baz Bahadur and Rupmati Hunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 18th-century artwork from the Indian subcontinent, featuring the legendary monarch Miyan Baz Bahadur Khan and his queen, Rani Rupmati, engaged in a hunting scene. The recto side of this opaque watercolor painting, adorned with gold and silver, showcases the romantic couple on horseback, surrounded by their companions - dogs and men - as they pursue an antelope through the lush, green farmland. The landscape is dotted with trees and fields, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The verso side of the artwork is equally intriguing, with red and black ink sketches that reveal the meticulous planning and preparation that went into the creation of this masterpiece. The sketches depict various elements of the scene, including the animals, horses, and figures, providing a glimpse into the artist's thought process and technique. Baz Bahadur and Rupmati are a legendary couple from Hindu and Islamic folklore, with their love story set against the backdrop of the Malwa Sultanate in central India. Their tale of companionship and devotion has been passed down through generations, and this artwork serves as a beautiful testament to their enduring legacy. The artwork is believed to have originated from the princely state of Himachal Pradesh in northern India, and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). This artwork is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Indian subcontinent and the timeless beauty of its history and culture.
