A chair-palanquin with six bearers is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows six men carrying a fancy chair on poles. They’re all dressed in matching outfits—white shirts, red caps, and colorful cloths wrapped around their waists. The chair has a black umbrella over it and a green cushion inside. The background is simple: a few trees and an open field. Notice how the men’s faces are all slightly different, even though they’re wearing the same clothes. The artist made sure each one looks a little unique.
