This painting shows a man in bright yellow robes with red and green embroidery, standing against a green field with a cloudy sky. He wears a tall hat with jewels and holds a white cloth in his right hand. His shoes are pink with gold trim, and small flowers grow at his feet. The artist signed it in the corner, but the name isn’t easy to read. The colors are bold, and the background is simple compared to the detailed clothes. Look up Nandalal to see more of his work.
