How do the figures watercolors depicting these Indian rulers compare?

Two watercolor paintings are shown. In the first painting, Jahangir is sitting on an hourglass throne. The throne sits on a large colorful carpet. Jahangir is wearing pants but no shirt, with jewels around his neck and a turban on his head. A large golden halo is behind his head. Four men are to his right: the artist himself is at the bottom, King James I from England is next, above him is a Turkish sultan, and closest to Jahangir is a Muslim sufi shaykh. The shaykh is handing something to Jahangir. At the bottom of the throne, two putti are inscribing the hourglass. The second figure is a painting of Maharaja Jaswant Singh. He is seated in a chair next to a small table. The table is covered with a green tablecloth; on top of the table is a book and a vase of flowers. Maharaja Jaswant Singh is wearing an ornate robe that reaches his feet; pants are visible beneath the robe. He is wearing jewels around his neck and a turban on his head. An ornate carpet is below him. A walking stick with a golden handle is in his hands.

In the Greek tragedy Medea by Euripides, Medea murders her children to get revenge on her husband Jason, who has betrayed her. Why might this ancient Greek play still be meaningful for a twenty-first century audience in the United States of America? Instead of producing the play with actors using masks and cothornous (wooden shoes with tall heels) as they did in ancient Greece, how might you produce such a play to make it more meaningful to a contemporary audience?
