EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of a Khanphata Yogi" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of 19th-century India. The nobleman depicted in this artwork is seated gracefully against a white bolster on the floor, exuding an air of regality and tranquility. His attire consists of beige and white robes, complemented by a turban adorned with intricate beadwork and large-gauge earrings that add to his distinguished appearance. In one hand, he holds a silver bidri-ware huqqa, from which wisps of smoke delicately rise. With his other hand firmly grasping a dagger, he showcases both power and elegance simultaneously. Silver dishes are thoughtfully arranged before him, adding to the opulence of the scene. The background is kept simple yet captivating with its vibrant green hue contrasting against roiling blue clouds above. Surrounding the central figure are floral motifs and plain red borders that enhance the overall composition. This remarkable piece also bears an inscription on its verso, further adding to its historical significance. Through this portrait painting, we catch a glimpse into the life of this nobleman - his status as well as his devotion to spirituality symbolized by his yogic practices. With every detail meticulously captured using opaque pigments & gold on paper technique by Indian School artists from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, this artwork serves as not only an aesthetic delight but also as an invaluable window into India's artistic legacy.
