Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I was the younger son of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and came to the throne of the powerful state of Jaipur after the sudden death of his elder brother. He was very interested in the arts, founding the city of Sawai Madhopur and building several palaces including the Madho Niwas in the City Palace. He also rejuvenated the painting atelier proving an active patron. His power was so great that, as depicted here, even lions shielded their eyes from his glory.
