A PORTRAIT SKETCH OF A COURTIER NORTH INDIA, RAJASTHAN, KISHANGARH, ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKSHOP OF NIHAL CHAND, CIRCA 1760-1780 Folio 7 1/8 x 5 ? in. (18.1 x 13.3 cm.)
Doris Weiner Gallery, New York, by repute.
At present, the identity the subject is uncertain. He appears to be a figure associated with the court of Maharaja Sawant Singh (1699-1764) or slightly after - perhaps he is a servant or artisan, as his garments appear modest.
Nihal Chand (1710-1782) was the most influential artist in the royal workshops of Maharaja Sawant Singh (1699-1764) of Kishangarh. His style shows the characteristically curving elongated eye, pursed lips and angular features associated with paintings from Kishangarh as notable in the present drawing.
