This exquisite Indian miniature painting is a 19th-century reproduction of the Chamba School painting "Portrait of Rāj Singh of Chamba," dated circa 1785. Rendered with delicate brushwork and intricate detail, the painting depicts the Rāja of Chamba seated beneath a pavilion smoking from a hookah and holding a hawk in one hand. Before him is his infant son Jit Singh, seated on the lap of an attendant with his hands outstretched towards the bird. Skillfully painted by a talented artist, this framed miniature honors the original with a soft array of colors and the finishing touch of shimmering gold pigments.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
