Aurangzeb

About this work

This painting shows a man in fancy robes, standing outside with a red sash and a turban. He holds something small in his right hand and has a long beard. The background is simple—just sky, grass, and a few flowers. Around the edges, there’s a border of yellow flowers and green leaves on a beige background. The man’s outfit looks rich, with gold patterns on his clothes. The painting is framed by a blue line inside the border. It feels like it might be from a long time ago, but we don’t know who made it.
