Dara Shikoh is a 1880 paint by Nandalal, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright, patterned clothing standing outdoors. He’s wearing a long robe with floral designs, a turban, and boots. The sky behind him is light blue with soft clouds, and the ground has small green plants and flowers. The colors are vivid but not overly dark. The man holds something small in his hand, and his face has a calm expression. The painting looks like it was made to show him as important, with careful details in his clothes and the background.
