Artist

E. Beyerhaus

E. Beyerhaus is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This artist painted a single portrait so striking it feels like the sitter stepped out of the frame. E. Beyerhaus captured Rajah Ali Gour, a Gukkur chief, in 1854 with a sharp gaze and a turban that looks ready to unfurl. The detail in the chief’s jewelry and the folds of his robe make you lean closer.

If you’ve ever wondered how British artists saw Indian royalty during the Raj, look up this painting, it’s a doorway straight into that world.
