Wajid Prince Kishan Singh being shown a painting Opaque watercolour and gold leaf on paper Isarda, c. 1685 19.7 cm x 27.7 cm Published Pasricha, "Painting at Sawar and at Isarda in the Seventeenth Century", 1982 The artist Wajid painted at the court of Isarda, a thikhana of Amber (now known as Jaipur), in the last quarter of the seventeenth century. This painting shows some of Wajid’s distinctive features. The chocolate brown carpet patterned with large cartouches, each enclosing a floral design, is frequently used and is similar to the carpet in his painting of Kanwar Kauju Ram Seated with Courtiers in Victoria and Albert Museum (Fig.9, Pasricha, Paintings at Sawar and at Isarda, 1982). Another distinctive feature is the artist's use of a flower motif, which can be seen on the skirt of the female attendant standing behind Prince Kishan Singh. The Prince is identified in an inscription on the reverse. Paintings of princes looking at paintings are not unusual, the most famous example being the Great Nainsukh painting of "Balwant Singh Seeing a Painting with Nainsukh." This painting is now in the collection Rietberg Museum, Zurich and was formerly in the collection of Mrs Chaman Lal of Delhi. (Plate 39, B.N.Goswamy, Nainsukh of Guler,1997).
