- Scope & Content:
-
The son of Bhagath.
By the son of Sital Das, Lucknow, c.1780-90.
Purchased June 1959.
Inscribed on mount in Persian: ‘shabih-i tifl-i bhagath, ‘amal-i pisr-i sital das’ (portrait of Bhagath’s little boy, the work of the son of Sital Das).
Gouache with plain background; mounted on paper with ruled borders.
93 by 85 mm; page 230 by 170 mm.
The boy kneels facing right, wearing a white jama with pink turban and shawl.
Note: From Col. John Murray’s collection, ‘see’ Add.Or.946. The two pictures are identically mounted and were presumably obtained by James Hoare at the same time and place. Sital Das’s son has clearly modelled his style on that of his father, for although the details are a little more tentative, the overall appearance is the same.
