In his entry on this painting Toby Falk notes that second figure is almost certainly Rawat Dule Singh, a minor ruler (Thakur) of the small state of Asind in Mewar. Evidently Jawan Singh made a companion of Rawat Dule Singh as he appears in a number of paintings of the period, including one where they are shown bathing together in the same pool with other chiefs (A. Topsfield, Paintings from Rajasthan in the National Gallery of Victoria, Victoria, 1980, nos. 241, 242 and 244). Dule Singh however fell completely out of favour under Jawan Singh’s successor and youngest brother, Sarup Singh (A Topsfield, Court Painting at Udaipur, Zurich [2002], p.253).
