You see two sleek horses standing side by side, their coats glossy in the sunlight. A groom holds their reins, his face turned toward the camera. This isn’t a painting—it’s an early photograph. Raja Deen Dayal was one of the first Indian photographers to document British colonial life. His images show both power and quiet moments, like these horses waiting for their owner. If you want to see more of his work, look up Raja Deen Dayal (Indian, 1844–1905).
