An Indian Mughal Portrait of a Nobleman, 19th Century.
A finely painted Indian Mughal portrait depicting a standing nobleman shown in profile, dressed in an elegant striped jama with a richly patterned sash and golden embroidered footwear. His red turban is rendered with delicate detailing, and he carries a long, curved sword with an ornate hilt resting against his side. Set against a soft green ground framed by multiple coloured borders, the figure is presented with characteristic Mughal refinement—elongated features, controlled linework, and meticulous textile patterning. The subject stands poised, hands gently clasped, conveying dignity and courtly presence.
Approximately 28 x 15.5cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished W London lady
