Maharaja Ram Singh is a 1750 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a man with a tall turban, likely a royal figure. He's dressed in fancy clothes and has a serious expression. This portrait is one of many made of Maharaja Ram Singh during his short rule. The artist included many details, like the turban, which was a fashion trend in Jodhpur. You can learn more about this style and others at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts Maharaja Ram Singh mounted on a brown horse against a green backdrop, accompanied by six attendants on foot. Rendered in opaque watercolour on paper, the work reflects the mid-18th-century Jodhpur fashion of towering turbans. It was created during his brief reign in the late 1740s, when multiple portraits of him were produced in a similar style.
