  • A princely picnic during a hunt

    By an artist at Amber painting in Mughal style, late 17th century

    A small, princely hunting party has stopped for a picnic under a tree. The young prince, whose identity remains elusive, at the centre of the composition, seems engaged in lively discussion with a beaded sufi to his left, possibly about the ethics of hunting and meat-eating, while a huntsman grills meat on a skewer. The nearest figure seems to be guarding the container of gold dishes and utensils, some of which wait on the ground for the cook to finish his grilling. This enigmatic painting would have been executed in Amber at the end of the 17th century, either as an original composition or after alost Mughal painting.

    It is one of a rare and important group of paintings, known to be associated with the royal studio at Amber (Amber was the capital until the Kacchvaha built Jaipur in 1727. other examples can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.80.6.6.), the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (E.A.1994.46), the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (1983.165), the St Louis Art Museum (I:42), the David Collection, Copenhagen (49/1992) and other private and public collections.
