Padam Singh is a 1847 paint by Pyar Chand, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of men on horseback and elephant in a bright, green landscape. The leader rides a white horse, holding a flag with a black circle. Soldiers in white and red stand around, holding long spears. In the background, a walled city sits on a hill under a partly cloudy sky. The writing around the edges is in a script that looks like Hindi. The colors are bold—greens, reds, and whites stand out against the dark border. Look up Pyar Chand next to see more of this artist’s work.
