Aurangzeb is a 1770 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright pink and gold robes sitting on a raised platform, holding a fan. Behind him, a servant in white stands with a parasol that has a patterned top. The sky is light blue with faint brushstrokes, and the background has a simple fence and some plants. The man’s face glows with a golden halo, which stands out against his dark beard. The colors are bold but flat, with no deep shadows or blending. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
