A Large Indian Oil on Canvas Portrait of a Regal Maharaja Holding a Sword.
An impressive oil on canvas portrait depicting a seated Maharaja adorned in elaborate ceremonial attire. The ruler is shown holding an upright sword, his posture dignified and authoritative. He wears a richly decorated turban surmounted with a plume, complemented by layered pearl necklaces, gemstone-set ornaments, and intricately detailed garments in soft golden tones. The composition emphasises status and power, with careful attention given to the jewellery, textiles, and facial expression. The cool, subdued background enhances the luminous quality of the attire and metallic elements, drawing focus to the figure. Presented within an ornate gilt frame, the painting conveys a formal and stately presence characteristic of royal portraiture.
Approximately 102.5 x 84.5cm (incl. frame)
