Über das Gemälde
This painting is by the renowned Pahari painter Nainsukh. Pahari is a style of painting particular to the Punjab Hills of northern India. This painting shows a local ruler, Balwant Singh, watching performers. Balwant Singh (1724-1763) was from the 1740s until his death the patron of Nainsukh, who painted many portraits of him engaged in a variety of courtly activities. In the centre is a young male dancer mimicking the actions of female dancers. Behind him is a group of musicians and singers. One holds a paper scroll in playful imitation of the Raja smoking a water pipe. Two sheets of paper have been joined together to make the picture.
