The two men depicted in this print were attendants of Kharak Singh, the eldest son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780–1839), who founded the first unified Sikh kingdom. Kharak Singh himself ruled—for little more than a year—during the chaotic period that followed his father's death.
Emily Eden met several members of Ranjit Singh's family and various members of the Sikh court when she accompanied her brother, Lord Auckland, then the Governor-General of India, on an extended tour of northern India.
