"Madhu Rao Narayan, the Maratha Peshwa with Nana Fadnavis and Attendants, Poona, 1792" is an 18th-century painting by the Scottish artist James Wales. Created during his time in India, the artwork is a significant historical portrait that captures Madhu Rao Narayan, the young Peshwa of the Maratha Empire, alongside the influential statesman and administrator Nana Fadnavis, as well as other attendants. The painting is notable for its depiction of the political figures of the Maratha court in Pune (then Poona) during a period of complex political intrigue and power struggles.

James Wales, known for his detailed and realistic portrayal of Indian landscapes and personalities, arrived in India in 1791 and spent several years documenting the people and architecture he encountered. His works provide valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of late 18th-century India. The painting of Madhu Rao Narayan with Nana Fadnavis is particularly important as it represents the Maratha leadership during a critical juncture in Indian history, just a few decades before the British East India Company's dominance over the subcontinent.

The artwork is executed with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to realism, which was characteristic of James Wales' artistic style. It serves as a visual record of the attire, courtly manners, and the hierarchical relationships within the Maratha Empire. As such, the painting is not only a work of art but also a document of historical significance, offering scholars and the public alike a window into the past.

The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is often referenced in discussions of Indo-British artistic exchanges and the representation of Indian rulers by European artists. It is also a testament to the influence of European artistic techniques and perspectives on the visual culture of India during the period of British involvement in the region.
