The face, in pale skin outlined with a fine black line, fills the right half: a clear forehead, an arched brow, an almond-shaped eye looking forward, a straight nose, a black moustache curving upward, and a small mouth with slightly parted orange lips. A vertical white-and-red mark appears on his forehead. The ear, visible at the center, wears a gold hoop earring with white pearls and a red bead; below it falls straight black hair ending in a pronounced curl at the nape of the neck. The tall, voluminous turban in ochre tones is covered with rows of pearls, green emeralds, red rubies, and large faceted jewels, with pearl tassels hanging at the left and a feather or curved ornament at the top. The neck and chest, only lightly sketched over a pale garment, support several long necklaces of white pearls with green, red, and gold pendants. The composition is flat, with no background or deep shadows; the luxury is concentrated in the jewels, contrasting with areas of bare paper.","contexto":"According to the Cleveland Museum of Art, this colored ink drawing, made around 1793 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, in northwestern India, is attributed to Sahib Ram, a Muslim master active between 1745 and 1803. It portrays Maharaja Pratap Singh (1764–1803), who came to the throne of the princely state of Jaipur in 1778 at the age of fourteen, about fifteen years before this portrait was painted. He was a poet and patron of the arts, known for commissioning Jaipur's famous 'Palace of the Winds,' and maintained an atelier of about fifty painters at his court. A devotee of the Hindu god Krishna, his affiliation is shown by the mark on his forehead.","como_mirarla":"Look first at the single eye in profile and follow its calm, forward gaze. Then move up to the jewels of the turban and down through the pearl necklaces. Finally, notice the small curl of hair at the nape of the neck: that modest detail is what makes the portrait recognizable.","dato_curioso":"Although the portrait is highly stylized, Pratap Singh remains recognizable by his profile and, above all, by the distinctive curl of hair at the nape of his neck.","preguntas":["What does the strict profile communicate about power and distance that a frontal portrait would not?","How do the jewels and the barely sketched clothing work together to construct royal status?","What can a small detail like the curl at the nape reveal about identity in a stylized portrait?"]},"es":{"titulo":"Retrato del maharajá Pratap Singh (1764–1803), hacia 1793, atribuido a Sahib Ram","se_ve":"Retrato vertical de busto, de perfil hacia la derecha, sobre papel envejecido de tono beige con manchas, pliegues y bordes irregulares. El rostro, de piel clara y línea negra fina, ocupa la mitad derecha: frente despejada, ceja arqueada, ojo almendrado mirando al frente, nariz recta, bigote negro curvado hacia arriba y boca pequeña de labios anaranjados entreabiertos. En la frente lleva una marca vertical blanca y roja. La oreja, visible al centro, luce un arete de aro dorado con perlas blancas y una cuenta roja; bajo ella cae cabello negro liso que termina en un rizo marcado en la nuca. El turbante, alto y voluminoso en tonos ocre, está cubierto de hileras de perlas, esmeraldas verdes, rubíes rojos y grandes joyas facetadas, con borlas de perlas que cuelgan a la izquierda y una pluma o adorno curvo en la parte superior. El cuello y el pecho, apenas esbozados con líneas delicadas sobre la prenda clara, sostienen varios collares largos de perlas blancas con colgantes verdes, rojos y dorados. La composición es plana, sin fondo ni sombras profundas; el lujo se concentra en las joyas, contrastando con las zonas de papel desnudo.","contexto":"Según el Cleveland Museum of Art, este dibujo en tinta de color, realizado hacia 1793 en Jaipur, Rajastán, en el noroeste de la India, se atribuye a Sahib Ram, un maestro musulmán activo entre 1745 y 1803. Retrata al maharajá Pratap Singh (1764–1803), quien subió al trono del estado principesco de Jaipur en 1778, a los catorce años, unos quince años antes de que se pintara esta obra. Fue poeta y mecenas de las artes, conocido por encargar el famoso «Palacio de los Vientos» de Jaipur, y mantuvo en su corte un taller de unos cincuenta pintores. Devoto del dios hindú Krishna, su filiación se reconoce por la marca que lleva en la frente.","como_mirarla":"Mira primero el único ojo de perfil y sigue su mirada tranquila hacia el frente. Después sube a las joyas del turbante y baja por los collares de perlas. Al final, busca el pequeño rizo del cabello en la nuca: ese detalle modesto es el que hace reconocible el retrato.","dato_curioso":"Aunque el retrato es muy estilizado, Pratap Singh se reconoce por su perfil y, sobre todo, por el distintivo rizo de cabello en la nuca.","preguntas":["¿Qué comunica el perfil estricto sobre el poder y la distancia que no comunicaría un retrato frontal?","¿Cómo trabajan juntos las joyas y la ropa apenas esbozada para construir el estatus real?","¿Qué puede revelar un detalle pequeño, como el rizo en la nuca, sobre la identidad en un retrato estilizado?"]}},"etiquetas":{"en":["portrait","profile","maharaja","jaipur","rajasthan","colored ink","turban","pearls","jewels","krishna","royal court","serenity"],"es":["retrato","perfil","maharajá","jaipur","rajastán","tinta de color","turbante","perlas","joyas","krishna","corte real","serenidad"]},"objetos":["Maharaja Pratap Singh","turbante enjoyado","perlas","collares","arete","marca en la frente","papel"],"colores":["#D8BE96","#F3EDDC","#171512","#7E8F6E","#B33A2B","#E58A4C"],"animo":["sereno","majestuoso","íntimo"],"epoca":"c. 1793","certeza":"alta","advertencias":[],"capa":{"voces":[{"guia":"la restauradora","en":"Look at the beige paper with stains, creases and uneven edges.
