Rao Raja Bhoj is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man in a bright, patterned outfit. He’s holding a single red flower in one hand and a dark object—maybe a pen or a stick—resting on his shoulder. His clothes are covered in tiny floral designs, and he wears heavy jewelry, including earrings and a beaded necklace. The background is a simple oval shape with bold colors: pink, green, and red. The red flower stands out against his dark headpiece, which has a gold trim. His face is serious but calm, with a small red mark on his cheek. The painting looks old, with some wear around the edges. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
