Maharao Ram Singh II is a 1840 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man riding a zebra-striped horse at full gallop. He’s dressed in bright, patterned clothes and holds a spear. Behind him, a servant in white and red runs alongside, carrying a pole. The background has a yellow sky, a pink-roofed building, and a blue horizon with clouds. The rider’s face is hidden under a green, circular shield—maybe to show power or mystery. The horse’s stripes and the bold colors make the scene feel lively and dramatic. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more paintings like it.
Painting in opaque watercolor on paper, depicting Raja Ram Singh II of Kota (1828–1866) on horseback with attendants on foot; the work remains unfinished.
