MUGHAL, C.1820The Court of the Mughal Emperor Aldwar Shah II at Delhi c.1820Miniature oil on ivory, 15 x 11cmThe scene represents the Court of the Mughal Emperor Aldwar (Akbar) Shah II at Delhi as it was in about 1820. The European is the British resident at Delhi, probably a Mr. Seton, or else his predecessor, Sir Charles Metcalf. The prince with long hair immediately to the left of the Emperor was imprisoned at Allahabad and died there in 1821, aged 31, after having been there for several years. His crime was to discharge a pistol at Mr. Seton, or, indeed, at Sir Charles Metcalf - the sources are not clear exactly which British resident was the intended assassination target.Coming from an Anglo-Irish gentry background, the Metcalfe family were central to Indian affairs for four generations, Charles Theophilus Metcalfe 91785-1846), son of Sir Thomas Metcalfe, M. P. and director of the East India Company, was described as 'portly equable'. Due to his ability generally, and linguistically in particular, and helped by his family's friendship with another Anglo-Irish scion, Richard Wellesley, Governor-General of Bengal, Metcalfe was rapidly advanced. After stints in Calcutta and The Punjab, he became resident at Delhi, 1811-1819 and again in 1825-1827, where his mission was directed at neutralising the authority of the Mughal emperor and to get a grip on civil administration. He afterwards became Governor-General of Canada. Somewhat a radical and with a genuine interest in Indian culture (he had a son by a Sikit woman), he was, however, a dedicated imperialist but one who realised that English governance of India was tenuous. His nephew, Theophilus, by his vengeful behaviour after the mutiny, ensured that this empire would be cursed.
