"Five Studies For 'General Sir David Baird Discovering The Body Of Sultan Tippoo Sahib After Having Captured Seringapatam On 4 May 1799' (1839), Two With Studies On The Verso" is a series of preparatory sketches by the renowned Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie. These studies were created as part of Wilkie's meticulous process in developing his historical painting that depicts a significant event from the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The final painting captures the dramatic moment when General Sir David Baird, a British Army officer, discovered the body of Sultan Tipu Sultan, also known as Tippoo Sahib, following the British capture of the fortress city of Seringapatam on May 4, 1799.

Sir David Wilkie, born in 1785, was a prominent figure in the British art scene, known for his genre paintings and historical scenes. His works often reflect a deep interest in the human condition and historical accuracy, which is evident in the detailed studies he conducted for his larger compositions. The "Five Studies" are a testament to Wilkie's dedication to capturing the emotional intensity and historical significance of the moment.

The studies themselves are executed with a keen eye for detail and composition, showcasing Wilkie's skill in rendering human figures and expressions. They provide insight into his creative process, revealing how he experimented with different poses, gestures, and arrangements to convey the gravity of the scene. The presence of additional studies on the verso of two of the sketches further illustrates Wilkie's thorough approach to his work.

These preparatory sketches are valuable not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance. They offer a glimpse into the meticulous planning behind one of Wilkie's notable historical paintings and contribute to our understanding of how artists of his time approached the depiction of historical events. The final painting, informed by these studies, stands as a poignant reminder of the complexities and human cost of colonial conflicts.
