Pura Raja is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in bright, bold colors—deep blues, oranges, and reds—sitting on a raised platform. He wears a fancy outfit with gold buttons and a tall, decorated hat, holding a spear and a fan. Behind him, two smaller figures stand, also dressed in colorful, patterned clothes. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene feel lively, almost like a quick sketch. The figures look flat, with clear outlines and no deep shadows.

A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard from 1890 depicts Pura Raja seated on a throne surrounded by attendants.
