Summary

Description
English: 'Maharaja Sher Singh on Horseback' by Keher Singh, ca.1842–46, Faqir Khana Museum, Lahore.

Description from an article titled 'Miniature Painters as Historiographers' by Kanwal Khalid, via: [1]

This is the completed version of the painting that could be seen in ‘Darbar Sher Sing’ (Fig. 2) that shows a majestic and powerful horse with a rider on its back. The Maharaja is wearing a helmet, embellished with jewels and a plume, holding a spear in his hand that is going diagonally across the picture frame. He is wearing a European style trouser that is a direct influence of European officers in his court. It has been implemented that the artist of the Subcontinent did not sit with the model but painted with the help of memory. But here in this painting, the artist Keher Singh is sitting in front of his model and painting him on the spot.
