Raja Ghamand Chand is a 1770 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in a white turban sitting on a raised platform, holding a long stick. Behind him, another man stands with a spear. In the background, a few people sit on the ground near a building with arched windows. The sky is a flat orange line against a gray, rocky hill. The bright colors—like the man’s pink cushion and gold headwear—stand out against the muted tones. The scene looks calm but a little tense, like a quiet moment before something happens. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
The painting depicts Raja Ghamand Chand of Kangra seated with his son Tegh Chand and grandsons Sansar Chand, Fateh Chand, and Man Chand, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1770.
