In the 1993 catalogue Toby Falk identified the nimbate maharaja as Jhanku (or Jhankoji) Rao Scindia who reigned from 1827-1843. He also however very closely resembles Jhanku Rao’s predecessor, Daulat Rao Scindia, as in a portrait formerly with Ed Binney, now in the San Diego Museum of Art or, even closer, in a company school depiction of him in identical pose by Khairullah of Delhi now in the Victoria and Albert Museum (03526 (IS); Mildred Archer, Company Paintings Indian Paintings of the British period, London, 1992, p.162). It is interesting to compare the Company school interpretation of the subject with the present painting which clearly shows the strong influence of Jaipur traditions.
