Raja Anand Dev is a 1690 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of men in bright, simple clothes sitting and standing on a red carpet. The central figure holds a flower and a fan, while others gesture or hold objects like scrolls or weapons. Their faces are calm, and the colors—whites, reds, yellows—stand out against the light background. The men’s clothing and the style of the painting suggest it’s from a time when rulers and courtiers were often shown in art. The bright colors and bold outlines give it a lively, almost flat look. Look up Baroque to see how this style compares to other dramatic, detailed art from the same era.
The artwork is a painting in opaque watercolour on paper depicting Raja Anand Dev, who ruled Bahu from approximately 1690 to 1715, surrounded by courtiers and attendants.
