Raja Kailashpat Dev is a 1745 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A man sits cross-legged on a low platform, dressed in a white robe covered in small green leaf patterns. His hands rest gently in his lap, and he wears a white cap. Behind him, a blue wall and a white railing frame the scene, giving it a calm, enclosed feel. The painting uses soft shadows and light to shape his face and clothes, making them look three-dimensional. The leaf patterns on his robe are carefully drawn, adding a quiet detail that stands out. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
A painting in opaque watercolour on paper from 1745 portrays Raja Kailashpat Dev, who ruled Bandralta between approximately 1715 and 1730, shown seated.
