From the catalogue note: “ This is a humorous image of a European nobleman holding a falcon on his gloved right hand. He wears a curiously stylized hat with feathers and tassels and a blue waistcoat over his transparent white jama and tall embroidered boots. His head tilts exaggeratedly and his mustache is far too long. He bears a dagger in his sash and holds a long straight sword in his left hand. He stands, almost as if dancing, against a flat mossy-green landscape, curving up to a cloudy blue sky... The subject depicts the trope of the faranghi - an uncouth foreigner in the eyes of the native Indians - as an object of absurdity, ridicule and low morality.”

Anonymous artist, A European Dandy with a falcon and long Sword, Rajasthan, possibly Bundi, mid-19th century, opaque water-based pigments with gold on paper, 8¾ by 6⅛ in., 22.5 by 15.5 cm, photo: Sotheby’s New York, 20 March 2025. More in ALT. #arthistory #IndiaArt #Art #India
