“A Sikh Akali-Nihang with His Wife and Child”
Punjab, likely Lahore, circa 1840
Watercolour on paper; margins ruled in gold, red, and blue.
This restored painting portrays a Nihang warrior with his wife and child, offering a rare glimpse into Sikh family life during the late Sikh Empire. Likely created in Lahore around 1840, it combines martial iconography with domestic intimacy.
Restoration focused on reviving faded pigments, enhancing facial details, and stabilizing gold, red, and blue border work. The result preserves the original character while restoring visual clarity and depth.
