Baz Bahadur and Rupmati is a 1840 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts two men on horseback, riding through a lush green landscape. The man on the left is dressed in a light-colored outfit, while the man on the right wears a darker attire. Both are holding bows and arrows, with the man on the right appearing to be in the act of shooting. In the foreground, a small body of water is visible, complete with lily pads and flowers. The background features rolling hills covered in trees, with a blue sky dotted with clouds above. This painting is reminiscent of the Romanticism movement, which often featured dramatic landscapes and expressive use of color.
The painting, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1840, depicts Baz Bahadur and Rupmati on horseback while pursuing deer.
