Raja Tegh Chand is a 1770 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three men in bright, flat colors against a plain background. The seated man in pink wears a turban and holds a long stick, while the man on the right stands holding a fan and a bowl. The man on the left sits on the floor with hands folded, and a hookah rests near him. The painting’s bold outlines and bright hues suggest it’s meant to stand out clearly. The seated man’s relaxed pose and the fan-bearer’s careful balance give it a calm but formal feel. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The painting depicts Raja Tegh Chand of Kangra seated while smoking a huqqa, with an individual kneeling before him in supplication; executed in opaque watercolour on paper around 1770.
