Maharao Raja Raghbir Singh is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This portrait shows a man in bright, bold colors. His yellow robe is covered in green and white jewels, and he wears a red hat with more gems. A thick black beard frames his face, and his mustache is neatly trimmed. The background is plain, keeping all focus on him. The painting’s title is written below: *"The Maharao of Bundi."* That suggests he was a ruler from the city of Bundi in India. The style mixes bright colors with careful detail, almost like two different ways of painting were combined. If you like this mix of styles, look up Realism next.
A portrait of Maharao Raja Raghbir Singh of Bundi is rendered in opaque watercolour and gold, with the image overpainted on a photograph from 1890.
