This painting from the collection of Sir William Rothenstein (1872-1945) depicts a leading wrestler at the court of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (r. 1605-1627). Jahangir's inscription to the right of the portrait identifies it as the work of the artist Manohar, and the subject as a court wrestler who had been given the honorific name 'Fil-e safid', or White Elephant.
