Bijai Singh is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright green robes sitting on a raised platform. He holds a long staff and wears a tall, gold hat with a feather. The background is plain light green, but the edges are packed with colorful flowers and swirling patterns in red, gold, and green. The man’s outfit looks fancy, with lots of embroidery and jewelry. The border around the painting is thick with flowers and geometric shapes, making the scene feel framed like a window. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
The painting depicts Maharaja Bijai Singh in a standing portrait, shown on a balcony and facing left, rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper. He is dressed in green robes adorned with an all-over gold embroidery pattern.
