EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Shuja ud-daula, the illustrious Nawab of Oudh (1754-75), alongside his ten sons. Engraved by P. Renault in 1796, this colored aquatint is a remarkable piece of art that offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Indian royalty during the 18th century. The composition portrays a proud and distinguished father surrounded by his sons, each displaying their unique personalities and characteristics. The artist, Tilly Kettle, skillfully captures their individuality through intricate details and expressions. Shuja ud-daula's regal attire exudes power and authority while his spectacles add an intellectual touch to his persona. This image not only reflects familial bonds but also sheds light on Anglo-Indian relations at the time. The missing painting from 1772 serves as the inspiration for this engraving, making it an invaluable historical artifact. Preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK, this artwork allows us to delve into India's rich cultural heritage. Through this striking portrait, we are transported back to a bygone era where tradition met modernity within royal courts. It serves as a testament to Shuja ud-daula's legacy as both a formidable leader and devoted family man. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder provides us with an extraordinary opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Indian artistry while unraveling fascinating tales from history.
