This painting shows the inside of Tipu Sultan's summer palace. Bright light streams through open windows. Soldiers stand in tiger-marked uniforms. The walls are covered in colorful patterns. The artist hid a small rebel detail. Tipu Sultan’s flag flies upside down. It’s a quiet protest against British rule. The room feels grand but tense. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more art from this time.
