This painting shows a young boy sitting on a chair. He's dressed in Indian clothes, but the furniture is Western-style. The boy is the Maharaja of Gwalior, and he's only ten years old. This photo is interesting because it shows a mix of cultures. The boy's clothes are Indian, but the clock and books are Western.
