Raja Bhupal Dev of Jasrota, Raja Dalip Singh and Raja Daya Dhat is a 1705 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three men sitting indoors. The man on the left wears a purple outfit and kneels, holding a long stick. The middle figure sits cross-legged in bright orange, with a patterned robe and a serious look. The man on the right sits on a red cushion, dressed in green, and holds a pipe. The background is plain with a simple railing. Notice how the colors pop against the muted walls—orange, purple, and green stand out sharply. The artist used bold lines and flat colors, which was typical for this style. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
