Freed Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Gurfateh ! Here is a collection of Drawings (Tinted brush drawings on paper) by Kehar Singh and Kapur Singh , painters who received the patronage of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the Houses of Patiala and Kapurthala in the 19th century - they along with their descendents were honoured as "Fakhr-e-Caum' (pride of the nation) for their outstanding work particularly for their embellishment of Siri Darbar Sahib. Their paintings tended to have Sikh Themes - both religious and secular - I have have grouped them into 4 threads - 'Royal', 'Nihangs' 'Artisans' and 'Kuka Singh'. A Self Portrait of Keher Singh Kapur Singh The Pictures come from; Punjab Painting - R P Srivastava - Abhinav 1983 Marg - Vol 54 No. 4 June 2003 The Sikhs - T S Randhawa - Prakash - 2000 I See No Stranger - B N Goswamy Caron Smith - RMA Mapin - 2006 Hope you enjoy the pictures.
