Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man riding a white horse across a green, rocky landscape. The rider wears a bright turban, a white robe with gold embroidery, and holds a curved sword in one hand. His horse is decorated with red and gold saddle blankets and a beaded bridle. The sky behind them is light blue with soft clouds, and the whole scene looks carefully painted with bright, flat colors. The rider’s face has a glowing green circle around his head, which might be a stylized halo. This kind of detail often appears in portraits of rulers or important figures.

The artwork depicts Maharaja Bakhtawar Singh of Alwar mounted on horseback, rendered in watercolour and gold over a photographic base from 1890.
