This portrait shows Maharaja Man Singh sitting straight with a long beard, wearing a white turban and a gold-trimmed red coat. His serious face and gold jewelry stand out against the plain background. The artist, Chhajju Lal, worked in what’s now India around 1890. This style mixes detailed faces with simpler, flatter colors compared to older royal portraits. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more art like this.
