Aurangzeb is a 1840 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man sitting on a richly decorated throne under a golden umbrella. He’s dressed in white and gold, with a calm face and a small beard. The background is a soft blue sky, and the throne has red and gold patterns with tiny flowers. The edges of the painting have dark blue borders with small, repeating designs. The man looks like a ruler, but his face is gentle, not fierce. The umbrella above him is a common symbol for royalty in some cultures. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
