About the painting
The man in this painting is probably Baba Bakhat Singh, a relative of the Maharana (ruler) of Mewar. The setting looks strikingly like the City Palace in Udaipur, where the painting would have been made, during the reign of Maharana Jagat Singh (r.1734-51). Bakhat Singh is shown walking with a lady towards a pavilion on an upper terrace of a palace, overlooking a tree-filled courtyard in which two musicians are playing. Three female attendants carry a huqqa, a fan, and Bakhat Singh's shield and sword.
