Amir Khan is a 1860 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a man riding a horse, dressed in a blue military-style uniform with yellow accents and a red collar. He wears a colorful hat and holds a sword in his right hand, with his left hand resting on the hilt. The horse is brown with a black tail and mane, adorned with a red and yellow harness. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be in motion, with the horse's front legs raised as if galloping. The background of the painting features a green field with a blue sky and white clouds. The level of detail in the painting suggests a realistic style, with attention paid to the textures of the man's clothing and the horse's harness.
