Inscriptions:
In Takri; sri Sidh Sen

Despite an inscription giving the name of Raja Sidh Sen, who is depicted in lot 88, this portrait is in fact Raja Shamsher Sen of Mandi (r.1727-81). Despite his long rule, Raja Shamsher Sen was noted for 'mental instability, a wilful liking for low companions, crazy habits and even at times for odd dressings-up'. For a portrait of him and a short discussion on the Raja, see W.G. Archer, Visions of Courtly India, The Archer Collection of Pahari Miniatures, Washington, 1976, cat.59, pp.110-111. Very similar depictions of Raja Shamsher Sen have been sold in these Rooms, 23 September 2005, lot 74 and 26 May 2016, lot 40.
