Raja Sansar Chand of Kangra and his Small Son and Courtiers. Made in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India. c. 1810-20. This formal court portrait shows Sansar Chand of Kangra (ruled 1775-1823) smoking a huqqa together with a darker-complexioned visitor from central India. Courtiers surround the men while, in front of them, soldiers in European-style uniforms (inspired by the visiting Irish adventurer William O'Brien, who reorganized Sansar Chand's army) flank a pool into which a woman demonstrates fireworks. Opaque watercolor and gold leaf on paper. Purchased with the John T. Morris Fund, 1955 (1955-11-3).
