Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Earthly Beauty, May 29-Sept. 6, 2015.Label TextMaharana (Great King) Jagat Singh ruled the princely state of Udaipur from 1734 to 1751. Seated on a splendid horse, he is shown here larger than his attendants and with a gold halo, or nimbus, around his head to emphasize his importance and authority. He is embarking on a hunting trip—the scene in the background shows him again (look for the nimbus) hunting a wild boar and a tiger from within a protective shooting box. In the foreground, the two attendants who follow immediately behind the horse carry a flywhisk and an umbrella and the royal insignia—a disc of black felt with a gold solar symbol in the center. Other attendants carry staffs, a bow and quiver of arrows, tall staffs with gold tassels, and a hawk.
