Bishen Singh as a Young Man. Culture: India (Rajasthan, Uniara). Dimensions: 10 1/2 x 6 5/16 in. (26.7 x 16.0 cm). Date: ca. 1780.This prince is formally presented in profile holding a flower and a sword. He stands silhouetted against a blue sky on a variegated field of grass and flowers. Animating this refined portrait are frolicking birds and a band of threatening rain clouds on the skyline. Artists in the small state of Uniara initially drew on the neighboring Bundi and Kota court styles, but by the end of the eighteenth century, when the state had become politically allied with Jaipur, this contact was reflected in their painting. The style of the turban and especially the diaphanous flared robe exemplify this artistic exchange with Jaipur. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Soon after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, a group of London merchants presented a petition to Queen Elizabeth I for permission to sail to the Indian Ocean. Despite early sailing disasters, the East India Company was formed in 1600. It became the British East India Company after the Treaty of Union in 1707. It was a joint-stock company that was formed initially for pursuing trade with the East Indies, but that ended up trading mainly with the Indian subcontinent and China, mainly in cotton, silk, indigo dye, saltpetre, tea, and opium. The Company long held a privileged position within the British government, and was frequently granted special rights and privileges, including trade monopolies and exemptions, which caused much resentment among its competitors. The Company remained a powerful force until it was dissolved in 1874.
