- Lot Description
A rare and historically significant albumen photograph captures a regal scene of Bhutanese royalty seated on their throne. The two royal figures are dressed in traditional Bhutanese attire, adorned with intricate jewelry and elaborate headpieces, embodying the rich cultural heritage of Bhutan. The setting is equally opulent, with ornate furnishings, floral arrangements, and draped curtains framing the royals, reflecting the grandeur of their status.
Accompanying the royal figures are two attendants seated on the floor, further emphasizing the hierarchical nature of the scene. The photograph offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the royal court of Bhutan during the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing the cultural and ceremonial practices of the time.
On the reverse side of the page is a photograph that appears to depict the ruins of an ancient temple, adding a contrasting element of historical architecture to the royal portrait on the front. This juxtaposition provides a broader context of Bhutan's rich history, from its spiritual and architectural heritage to its royal lineage.
This photograph is an invaluable document for collectors interested in Asian history, royal photography, or Bhutanese culture. It stands as a testament to the enduring traditions and regal splendor of one of the world's most isolated and enigmatic kingdoms.Mount 11" x 14", photo 9" x 11"
