British Artist after 1840
Sir Henry Hardinge (1785–1856), Governor General of India, a scene from the First Sikh War, oil on canvas, 150 x 203 cm, unframed, damaged
We are grateful to Christopher Wentworth-Stanley for his scholarly advice.
Compare:
William Salter’s portrait of Henry Hardinge, 1834-1840, NPG3721, National Portrait Gallery, London.
The protagonist of the following scene is Henry Hardinge in his capacity as Governor-General of India during the First Anglo-Sikh War, fought between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Company in 1845 and 1846. It probably depicts the signing of the Treaty of Amristar, after which the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir was established under the suzerainty of the British Indian Empire and by which Maharaja Gulab Singh Jamwal agreed to serve the British Empire.
Following his military success after the First Anglo-Sikh war, Henry Hardinge was created Viscount Hardinge of Lahore and of King’s Newton in Derbyshire on 1846. He returned to England in 1848 and succeeded the Duke of Wellington as commander-in-chief of the British Army on 1852.
