One of four drawings of inhabition of Delhi. is a 1815 paint by Faiz Ali Khan, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man in bright, patterned clothes rides a decorated horse across a grassy plain. The rider holds a spear and wears a tall, feathered hat. The horse has a saddle covered in gold stitching and a shield with a moon-and-star design. Behind them, a river winds through a distant town, and palm trees line the horizon. The painting’s bold colors and dramatic scene fit a time when artists liked to mix real places with fancy details. The horse’s movement feels almost alive, as if caught mid-gallop.
