“BANI THANI” – a watercolour painting done by me on Imperial Size (56x76 cm/22x30 inches) Arches Cold Pressed watercolour paper. This painting is inspired by a work by Nihal Singh in the Kishangarh style.
Bani Thani was one of the wives of King Sawant Singh, the King of Kishangarh. Her birth name was Vishnupriya. She was appointed as a singer to the King's court. The King was a poet, and because of their shared interests, they fell in love.
After the King abdicated his throne, both of them retired comfortably in Vrindavan – a place very famously related to Radha-Krishna.
Nihal Singh, the painter, used Bani Thani and the King as models and painted a series of paintings depicting them as Radha and Krishna.
The characteristics of these paintings were elegant and graceful features, rather stylised, including arched eyebrows, lotus-like, elongated eyes, and a pointed chin.
