About Nawab of the Carnatic and His Son Azam Jah Thomas Hickey Vintage Orientalist Painting of India
Azim-ud-Daula was Nawab of the Carnatic region of India from 1801 until his death in 1819. The title ‘Nawab’ was bestowed by the Mughal Emperor upon princely Muslim rulers and can be best understood, perhaps, as a similar distinction to a British peerage. The primary duty of a Nawab was to uphold the sovereignty of the Mughal Emperor along with the administration of a certain province. The artist who painted this portrait, Thomas Hickey, was born in Dublin but spent much of his career travelling around Asia, particularly in India. He gained most of his commissions from members of the British East India Company and their Indian allies.
