Painting at Mewar flourished under Sangram Singh and production at the court studio during his reign was prolific, recording ceremonies of the ruler with his court, hunting expeditions, religious themes and court life in general. The Mewari artists of this period established a pattern for the Udaipur court studio to follow for the next two centuries with the continuation of these themes.
