Shatru Sal II and Two Ladies
View through Harvard Museums
A gentleman whose profile bears some resemblance to Maharao Shatru Sal II (r. 1866-89) of Kotah sits on a chair and holds a bottle and a cup. He is accompanied by two women, and their party is about to be joined by another who enters the room through a door on the right. With a bottle of wine on the table and more on the way, this scene is surprisingly casual for a royal portrait and may portray a lower-ranking nobleman instead of Shatru Sal.
