Portrait of Raja Ram Singh of Amber (r. 1667-1688) with a Deccan Sword (recto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man in traditional attire. He wears a red turban, a long brown and green robe with a black trim and a red and gold sash on the right side. A brown shawl is draped around his shoulders. The man holds a long staff in both hands and a sword hangs at his side. His outfit is completed with orange leggings and white shoes with gold designs. The background of the painting is a mottled tan color with a darker tan floral patterned border. The man is positioned in profile, facing left. The overall style of the painting suggests it is a representation of a historical or royal figure.
