Summary
| Description |
English: Faizabad (painted)
Lucknow (made) In this painting, the royal procession of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II (r.1759-1806) is depicted making its return to Delhi, seen in the background, along the banks of the channels of the river Jumna and crossing a bridge of boats. The emperor's elephant is followed at a distance by elephants bearing the imperial standards, with the royal ladies behind these in a covered howdah, a palanquin, and other screened structures on bullock carts. The royal women are accompanied by female guards on horseback. By now the Mughal emperor ruled only in name. In 1764 the British East India Company had defeated the Mughal army and its allied forces, and forced the emperor to grant the Company the right to collect revenue from the large and prosperous province of Bengal. They also insisted he reside in Allahabad, not the imperial capital. However, in 1772 Shah Alam II returned to Delhi under protection after an absence of twelve years, the scene depicted here. The style of the painting is similar to that of the V&A's Gentil Album (IS.25-1980), done in Faizabad in 1774. |
