Item Details

Description

Raja Sansar Chand of Kangra (reg. 1775-1823) seated on a palace terrace
Kangra, early 19th Century
gouache and gold on paper, blue floral border, light pink stippled outer border, nagari identifying inscription verso
299 x 240 mm.
Footnotes:
Provenance
Formerly in the collection of Anthony Powell (1935-2021), costume designer.

The inscription on the reverse, identifying the sitter as Sansar Chand, has been verified by the late B. N. Goswamy (private communication with seller).

Raja Sansar Chand appears frequently in Kangra painting, reflecting his position in that kingdom as a patron of art. The war with the Sikhs in 1803, and the Gurkha invasion of 1806 began the eclipse of his political power.

The film and theatre costume designer Anthony Powell won three Academy Awards for his work, for Travels with My Aunt (1972), Death on the Nile (1978) and Tess (1979), and also worked on, inter alia, two of the Indiana Jones films, as well as Hook and 101 Dalmatians.
