Thomas Hickey · Dublin, Ireland · 1741–1824

Purniya, Chief Minister of Mysore

He commands the frame the way he commanded an empire. Purniya — the Chief Minister who held the kingdom of Mysore together through its most turbulent years — painted by a Dubliner who travelled to India and had the eye to recognise greatness when he saw it.

This is the print that makes people stop and ask. Bold, regal, and unlike anything else on an Irish art wall — it's a statement piece for someone with genuine taste. And for the Irish abroad, there's something quietly powerful about it: one of our own, far from home, capturing a moment that history still remembers.
