Dost Muhammad is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a round portrait of a man with a long white beard and a striped turban. His face is pale, and he wears a blue robe with gold patterns. The background is a plain, light blue circle. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with soft edges and light shading. The colors are bright but faded in spots, like old fabric.
