Synopsis

Nainsukh (1710-1768) was the greatest eighteenth-century Indian miniaturist, the son of the respected Pandit Seu and brother of the steadfast Manaku. He deviated from his family workshop style by following his interest for Mughal naturalism. At the age of thirty, Nainsukh was invited by Raja Zorawar Singh to his castle in Jasrota. Nainsukh served him until Singh's death, but then was retained as court artist by his young son Raja Balwant Singh. These two non-ruling Rajput princes enjoyed spending their limited fortunes entertaining and shared a refined taste in music, dance and theatrical performances. Nainsukh was an active participant in their artistic amusements.
