Royal portrait did by H.H Prince Tulajendra Rajah Bhosle handed over to his grandson Prince Pratap Sinh Serfoji RajeBhosle by a Chennai based numismatist


Posted by Prince Pratap Sinh Serfoji RajeBhosle 👇👇

Today Chennai based numismatist, Venkataraman Prabhakar sir gifted me a portrait of my ancestor, King Serfoji III drawn and painted by my Grandfather, Prince.Tulajendra Rajah Bhosle. He got this portrait ten years back from an antique retailer. My grandfather was a lover of Tanjore art and he himself worked on many royal portraits. He did portraits of all the Maratha rulers of Thanjavur and some are still displayed at Sadar Mahal Palace's private museum.He signed all his completed portraits as T.R Bhosle (that means Tulajendra Rajah Bhosle).In this portrait he had mentioned the name of the King and the  year of his reign, my grandfather's signature is seen  and in extreme right, the relationship of him with the king (stated as grandfather). This portrait is drawn after  seeing  the authentic Tanjore painting of King Serfoji III which is at our Palace museum. 

(Note: The numerical number after the name in the portrait might be misplaced). 

Thank you so much Venkataraman sir for gifting  this beautiful portrait done by my grandfather  😊.
