この絵画について
A ruler sits at worship before a portable shrine to the god Vishnu. He wears only a plain withe dhoti, and his head is shaved except for a small tuft (shikha) that signals his devout nature. This wonderfully intimate image is typical of the work of the painter Nainsukh, who enjoyed a close creative dialogue with his patron, Raja Balwant Singh. Here he provides a rare glimpse of the daily ritual of the ruler.

The artist Nainsukh hailed from a family of court artists, and he most likely trained under his father, Pandit Seu. His brother Manaku was also an artist, working in Guler, while Nainsukh's two sons, Ranjha and Nikka worked for Raja Raj Singh of Chamba for twenty years, continuing the family tradition. This Seu family style can be traced to several of the hill states and as it travelled, it incorporated learned stylistic traits along the way. These influences were garnered from previous compositions, other itinerant artists, and influence from the various patrons as well. The painter Nainsukh moved from the larger court of Guler where he may or may not have trained, to the lesser court of Jasrota, where he found his main patron: Balwant Singh. Nainsukh worked for Balwant Sing for twenty years until his patron's death, mainly based in Jasrota, a small state affiliated to the larger state of Jammu in the Pahari hills.
