Ghasi - Equestrian Portrait of Maharana Bhim Singh - ca. 1825 v1 - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This is a fine art portrait of Maharana Bhim Singh mounted on horseback, painted in the manner of Indian miniature gouache and attributed to the artist Ghasi, dating to around 1825.

Visual Elements & Composition

The composition is a rectangular panel framed in vermilion red, and the palette is built on cerulean blue, white, grass green and charcoal grey. The ruler sits at the centre on a caparisoned elephant, a halo marking his rank, and the eye moves from him outward to the surrounding retinue. An attendant holds a white fly-whisk beside him, while turbaned men in white jamas fill the lower registers. A red canopy umbrella arches overhead, and a crescent moon sits in the sky. Blue dominates the field, with the red frame and red canopy setting the strongest accents.

Meaning & Symbolism

The halo, the canopy and the fly-whisk are the conventional marks of royal status in Rajput courtly painting, signalling sovereignty without a caption. The procession of attendants places the Maharana within the hierarchy of his court, and the crescent moon adds a cosmic register to the scene. The work comes from the Mewar tradition of Rajasthan, and its early nineteenth-century date places it among the courtly portraits that recorded rulers and their households for posterity.

Made for the Cut Edge

A kiss-cut sticker is cut to its own outline, so the composition loses its rectangle and keeps only the figures, canopy and framing. The Maharana's silhouette and the elephant's bulk become the object's edge, which suits a painting built around a single commanding figure. Its scale is that of a collector's piece, meant to be read up close, where the fine line work and the gold-toned detail of the original come through.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
