拍品专文

This study of Jaswan Marwar is after a colored portrait of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Marwar, attributed to Narsingh Chitara. See S.C. Welch, Room for Wonder, 1978, p.148, cat. no. 66. The last quarter of the nineteenth century witnessed the popularization of photography, luring many Indian artists to give up painting. In the transitional period many copied photographs, as is probably the case with the given example.
