A King Making Love in the Harem — Restored Rajput Wall Art

From a series of paintings valorizing the virility of the ruler, this scene of lovemaking is set in the lavish interior space of the palace women’s quarters. Mauve floral carpet, gold lattice window, and vessels for wine and breath-freshening paan enhance the scene. The marble walls with gold flowering plants and niches appear gray in the dim evening light.

Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Jaipur, c. 1720–30. Original medium: gum tempera and gold on paper.

Worth knowing: Two illuminated panels at top and bottom are decorated with gold and lapis lazuli.

Faithfully restored from museum archives and printed on premium canvas-textured fine art paper, framed and ready to hang.
