Description |
English: Painting of Durbar Procession of Mughal Emperor Akbar II (reigned 1806-1837), with British Resident Charles Metcalfe (1785-1846)
This large painting shows a long procession with many figures on elephants, horses and camels, in carriages and palanquins, and on foot. The procession takes place in the open plain near Delhi with architectural structures in the background such as mansions, a mosque, and the walls of the Red fort. This painting was gifted to Victor Law (1842-1910) by the Princely State of Ulwar (Alwar), where he served as Political Agent from 1877 to 1884. Subsequently, he served as Agent at Oude (Awadh) 1884-1896? and at Jaipur 1896-1898 after which he retired as a Major-General. He left his estate to his brother, and the painting was passed through his brother's family who had settled in Canada and bequeathed to the ROM. |
