Raja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur is a 1660 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a shirtless man in colorful, flowing clothes, standing outdoors. He wears a tall turban, striped skirt, and red shoes, holding a curved sword in one hand and a small object in the other. The background is a pale blue-green with faint grass and hills. The bright colors and dramatic light suggest this is from a time when artists used bold styles. The way the figure stands confidently might hint at his importance. Look up the Baroque movement next to see how this style shaped art.
The artwork is an opaque watercolour on paper portrait created in 1660, depicting Raja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur. He is shown wearing striped trousers, a transparent white overgarment, and a plain long-sleeved top.
