About this work

The painting depicts a man in traditional Indian attire, standing in a room with a green wall. He wears a white tunic and pants, paired with a red sash and a turban adorned with a gold band. In his right hand, he holds a sword with a green scabbard. The man's outfit is complemented by a red and green sash wrapped around his waist, and his feet are clad in blue shoes with gold accents. His attire suggests a noble or royal status, and the sword in his hand implies a sense of power and authority. This painting is reminiscent of the works found in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
