About this work

This is a painted portrait of a man inside a green oval frame. He wears a yellow turban with red stripes and a red sash over his shoulder. His face is clean-shaven except for a mustache, and he has a small red dot on his forehead. The background is plain, keeping focus on his face and clothing. The name "Hari Singh" is written in pencil below the portrait. His outfit looks like traditional South Asian royal clothing, with beaded details on his collar.
