The Maharaja of Gwalior before his palace by one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists, Edwin Lord Weeks. Most of his paintings render empathy and belonging than a patronizing or condescending portrayal.

Weeks who traveled and painted in Mathura, Banaras, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar and Bombay shows a mastery of artistic detail: most of his paintings bring together an amalgam of society, replete with men, women, animals, structures and dust; the royalty is incidental.
