Sawant Singh is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a man inside a circular frame. He wears a bright red turban with gold and green patterns, a white robe with embroidered sleeves, and a necklace with green and red stones. His face is painted in simple but bold colors—green background, red turban, and a light beige skin tone. The signature in the corner reads *"Sawant Singh"*, which might be the person’s name, not the artist. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with flat colors and no deep shadows. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more historical portraits like this.
The artwork is a portrait of Sawant Singh created in 1850 using opaque watercolour and gold on paper, which has been mounted onto cardboard. The piece is attributed to an unknown artist.
