"The Surrender of the Two Sons of Tipu Sahib, 1749-99, Sultan of Mysore, to Sir David Baird, c.1800" is a historical painting by the English artist Henry Singleton (1766–1839). The artwork captures a significant moment in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, specifically the Third Anglo-Mysore War, which took place in the context of the wider conflict between the British Empire and the Kingdom of Mysore in India.

The painting depicts the emotional scene following the defeat of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, where his two young sons are handed over as hostages to Sir David Baird, a British army officer. This event occurred as part of the terms of the Treaty of Seringapatam in 1792, which ended the hostilities of the Third Anglo-Mysore War. The treaty stipulated that Tipu Sultan was to surrender half of his kingdom to the British East India Company and its allies, as well as pay a hefty war indemnity. The handover of his sons was a guarantee of his compliance with the treaty terms.

Singleton's work is notable for its dramatic representation of the scene, with the figures of the young princes portrayed in a sympathetic light, evoking the viewer's empathy for their plight. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the complexities of colonial encounters. Singleton, who was a popular painter of historical and genre scenes in his time, has imbued the work with a sense of theatricality and emotion, characteristic of his style.

The painting is an important cultural artifact, reflecting the British perspective of the colonial era and the power dynamics at play. It also offers insight into the visual culture of the period, as such works played a role in shaping public perceptions of the empire and its military campaigns. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location and ownership status are not specified in this introduction, but it remains a significant piece within the oeuvre of Henry Singleton and the genre of British historical painting.
