English: Painting of villagers at Rania (located in modern-day Haryana), circa 1816. Painted by the company artists Ghulam ‘Ali Khan and others.
Opaque watercolour on paper. Numbered "107" to the upper right; numbered and inscribed on the reverse in French "107 famille Princiere" and further inscribed in an Urdu hand. Company school painting made for William and James Baillie Fraser. The artist who executed this painting can be identifier as one of the master artists working for William Fraser. The identities of the figures depicted (from left-to-right) are as follows: 1. Soojah [Muja], Rajpoot Bhutee son of Nijabut Khan, [Lambardar, resident of] Ranneah 2. Hazir Khan, brother of Soojah [Muja], Rajpoot 3. Amiban, Rajput [of the] tribe Makhokhar [Khokhar], inhabitant of Bhatrani, sister-in-law of Khwaju Soha (Note: she is described in an inscription as being a Jat woman, likely of the Khokhar gotra, many of whom claim ultimate Rajput origins) 4. Khajoo allee [Bhatee] Lumburdar, commonly called Soha Mojumee [resident of] Ranneah 5. Mewah [Jeewah], Rajpoot, Mundewal, [resident of Rania] related to Nijabat Khan [Lambardar] The inscription tells us that Amiban is "A Jat woman, the chosen one of Fraser Sahib, whose delicate beauty was beyond compare". She appears again in "Salabat Bhatti and villagers at Rania", now in the David Collection in Copenhagen. Amiban was the "bibi" (a local Indian "wife" of a European, not formally wed) of Fraser. The identity of the young boy standing beside Amiban may be Charles Fraser, William's eldest son. However, he is named as Hazir Khan in this painting possibly to hide his son's identity from his family in Scotland. Provenance: William and James Baillie Fraser. Now kept in a private French collection. Description written (and taken from) based on analysis of the painting presented in Simon Ray: Indian & Islamic Works of Art (2016).
