EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts Maharao Ram Singh II of Kota (reigned 1827-1866) and Maharao Ram Singh of Bundi (reigned 1828-1866) engaged in a thrilling hunt. The image, created around 1880, captures the raw energy and intensity of the moment as the Maharajas, both dressed in traditional attire, approach a tiger that has attacked one of their horses. The tiger, with its fierce eyes and bared teeth, is poised to strike, while the hooves of the trampled horse are visible underfoot. The scene is rendered in opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper, adding a rich and intricate texture to the image. The two Maharajas, rulers of the princely states of Kota and Bundi in Rajasthan, India, were part of the complex web of regional powers during the British Raj. The British Empire's influence in Hindustan was expanding rapidly during this period, and this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these local rulers and their continued traditions of hunting and royalty. The print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of Asian and South East Asian art. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the human desire to conquer it, as well as a reminder of the complex historical context of imperialism and the role of local rulers during this period.
