The themes of the ranged from the courtly—portraiture, hunting, royal festivities, zenana scenes, etc., to the literary—illustrations to Ramayana, Bhagavata Purāna, Gīta Govinda, rāgamālā, bāramāsā, etc. This paper looks closely at how the patrons liked to see themselves – the different ways in which they got themselves painted—in court, or hunting, solo portraits, in festivities, etc.
