Maharaja

Group shot of 5 men. The Maharaja sits in the centre on a chair, his right foot resting on a cushion, and is the only one looking directly into the camera. In contrast to other portraits of rulers, no weapons can be seen here. Four other men sit and stand next to and behind the Maharaja. The men's turbans, which are twisted like a cord and wrapped around their heads (turbans of the Marwaris?, see also P 4246), are striking.
