Maharana Fateh Singh (reg. 1884-1930) on horseback with attendants on foot Udaipur, by the artist Shivalal, circa 1891Maharana Fateh Singh (reg. 1884-1930) on horseback with attendants on foot Udaipur, by the artist Shivalal, circa 1891gouache and gold on paper, blue and dark red borders, English inscription in lower border 480 x 360 mm.ProvenanceSotheby's, Oriental Manuscripts and Miniatures, 18th October 1995, lot 101 (lots 104 and 105 in the same sale were attributed to Shivalal).Private UK collection.The English inscription in the lower border reads: His Highness the Maharana Fateh Sing Bahadur GCSI of Oodeypore in his state dress, 1891. Painter Shri Lal.Shivalal was the son of the better known Udaipur court painter, Tara, and also worked, from around 1868 onwards, under Fateh Singh's predecessors, Sarup Singh, Shambhu Singh and Sajjan Singh. For examples of his work, see A. Topsfield, The City Palace Museum, Udaipur: Paintings of Mewar Court Life, Udaipur 1990, pp. 93-119, nos. 33-48, with nos. 37-48 showing Maharana Fateh Singh. These are mostly large-scale and compositionally inventive hunting scenes: our painting falls into the more conventional processional genre - see nos. 45 and 47, dated 1890 and 1893 respectively. Topsfield argues elsewhere that this move away from the larger hunting scenes may reflecting a need for change on the part of both patron and artist (Court Painting at Udaipur, Zurich 2001, ch. 10, pp. 279-292).
