Warren Hastings is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a framed portrait inside a larger frame. The outer frame is green with gold trim, and the inner frame is dark with a light blue background. Inside, a man in a white wig and red coat sits against a patterned curtain. The note below says it’s a copy of an older painting of Warren Hastings. The colors are bright but simple, and the man’s face is centered in a black oval. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
An opaque watercolour on paper from 1800 depicts Warren Hastings in a portrait, shown wearing a scarlet coat and white stock. A pinkish mauve curtain appears on one side of the composition. The work is a copy of a contemporary painting of Hastings, who served as Governor General of India from 1774 to 1785. Below the image, handwritten text identifies the subject and notes it as a copy from an original portrait held at Jaipur.
