Morvi was a princely kingdom in Gujarat during the colonial period. The commissioned portrait shows Thakur Sahib Sir Waghji II Rawaji (b. 1858), who was the state’s ruler from 1870 until his death in 1922. He strikes an imposing stance in this painting, dressed in opulent silk and gold-embroidered blue clothing, and bedecked with jewellery.
