Rana Kirat Singh of Udaipur is a 1730 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in a fancy gold-and-red outfit sitting on a raised platform, holding a pink flower. Two women stand nearby—one in an orange dress, the other in red and blue. The background has a fence, trees, and a small boat on water below. Bright colors and gold details cover everything, including the man’s throne-like seat. The writing at the top is in a script that looks like Hindi or a related language. The scene feels formal but relaxed, like a royal gathering. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more paintings like it.
