Nasir Jang is a 1745 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright, ornate robes holding a long staff and a small book. Behind him, another man in simpler clothes leans forward, holding a fan. The background is a green sky with a red border, and the bottom has a grid of tiny flower-filled squares. The man’s golden halo and the book suggest this is a religious scene. The detailed patterns on his clothes and the careful linework were common in this style of art. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
