RM2B01CTG–India: Portrait of a fakir by Ram Singh II (28 September 1833 - 17 September 1880), Maharaja of Jaipur, 1865. Sawai Ram Singh II ascended to the throne of Jaipur in 1835 after the death of his father, Jai Singh III. A regency ruled in his stead until he turned 18. Influenced by Western ideals, he was on the whole a pro-reforms ruler, though some argue that his stance came from a tendency to kowtow to British preferences in exchange for honours and titles to secure his seat of power. Ram Singh was passionate about art and photography, after being introduced to a camera in 1864.
