EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mir Jaffar, Nawab of Murshidabad, with a courtier and attendants" offers a glimpse into the opulent world of 18th-century Bengal. The image showcases Mir Jaffar, an influential ruler who held the title of Nawab from 1757 to 1760 and again from 1763 to 1765. Standing regally amidst his lush garden, Mir Jaffar is accompanied by a courtier and several attendants. The composition exudes grandeur as it captures the essence of South Asian royalty during this period. Mir Jaffar's commanding presence is accentuated by his elaborate attire adorned with gold accents. The courtier standing beside him adds an air of sophistication to the scene, while the attendants in their traditional garments provide loyal support. This portrait not only highlights the power dynamics within Indian courts but also offers insights into daily life during that era. The inclusion of hookahs suggests leisurely pursuits enjoyed by nobility, while the presence of domestic servants reminds us of their integral role in maintaining these lavish households. Preserved at San Diego Museum of Art in the USA as part of Edwin Binney's esteemed collection, this artwork serves as a valuable historical artifact. It allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill employed by Indian School painters and gain deeper understanding about one of Bengal's prominent rulers – Mir Jaffar.
