English: NAWAB ASAF AL-DAWLA AND HIS ENTOURAGE ON ELEPHANTS HUNT A TIGER ATTACKING A HORSEMAN
LUCKNOW, INDIA, CIRCA 1810 Opaque pigments heightened with gold on paper, set between a black, white and yellow border, pasted onto card, the reverse plain Painting 15 3/4 x 23 1/8in. (40 x 58.7 cm.); folio 17 3/8 x 24 5/8 in. (44.2 x 62.5 cm.) Likely by the same hand as the previous lot, this painting depicts Asaf al-Dawla, recognisable under his blue parasol, taking part in a tiger hunt alongside his courtiers. The European figures on the right can be associated with those depicted in Johann Zoffany’s painting Colonel Mordaunt’s Cock Match’, now in the Tate Gallery, London. The figure in the red jacket, for example, could very well be Colonel Mordaunt himself. Both the present lot and Zoffany’s celebrated painting are reminders of the cosmopolitan atmosphere which prevailed at the Lucknow court in the late eighteenth century. |
