Sul dipinto
In this painting, two notable figures of the Sikh court under the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (r.1801-1839) are seated on a terrace. Raja Dhian Singh (1801-1844) kneels on a carpet against a bolster, facing his younger brother, Raja Suchet Singh (1796-1843). They were members of the Hindu Dogra family whose talents were rewarded with high office and titles under Ranjit Singh, but who contributed to the turmoil of the region following the ruler's death. The painting was probably done in about 1838-40, and is in the characteristic style of the Panjab Hills of the period, suggesting that it may have been done by an artist who left the patronage of one of the Hindu rajas to find new patrons in the Panjab Plains during the stability of Ranjit Singh's reign. The painting was given to the museum in 1953 by Robert Skelton, former Keeper of the Indian Department.
