Summary

English:
Miniature portrait painting of Prime Minister Bhimsen Thapa (1775-1839) of Nepal, dated 1839, Nepal. Opaque watercolour with tooled gold on
wasli
. Size: 32.7 x 24.8cm. The inscription reads (transliteration and translation) as
shri janaral kamandar in cheef bheem sen thapa ka 63 varshko samwat 1896 saal maa khaichiya ko
(Shri General Commander-in-chief Bhimsen Thapa, aged 63 years, painted in Samwat 1896 [1839 AD]). The title given to him, instead of prime minister, refers to his position when declaring war on the British as commander-in-chief. This portrait produced in the year of his death seems most likely to be in commemoration of him. The portrait must have served patronage for nostalgia by showing him in his prime. The painting is currently in the private collection of Peter Blohm.
