19th-Century Sikh Miniature of an Akali and His Wife
Opaque watercolour on paper, likely Lahore or Amritsar, circa 1840
Kapany Collection
This 19th-century Sikh miniature depicts an Akali-Nihang warrior beside his wife, reflecting the domestic side of a martial tradition. Likely painted in Lahore or Amritsar, it belongs to a genre of works portraying everyday Sikh life during the Sikh Empire.
Rendered in opaque watercolours, the piece has been carefully restored to recover its original tonal depth and detail. Color fading was reversed through digital pigment correction, while minor damage to borders and facial features was stabilized and retouched. Part of the Kapany Collection, the artwork now stands as a vivid and faithful window into Sikh cultural heritage.
