Rao Bikoji is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man dressed in bright yellow robes with red and gold trim. He stands on a patch of green grass with small flowers around his feet. His outfit includes a tall hat, a sash, and fancy shoes. The background is mostly a plain blue sky, and the whole scene is framed by a red border with writing in another language. The man holds a walking stick in one hand and rests the other on his chest, giving off a calm but confident look. The painting looks like it was made to show off his clothes and status.
