A vertically oriented color on paper painting depicts Aurangzeb, a man with medium skin tone and a neat dark beard, standing in profile facing left. He wears a red tunic with gold floral patterns and turban with a black feather. A gold halo encircles his head. He holds a sword and dark whisk. He stands on grass between a red poppy and purple irises against a pale green sky. A red border frames the scene.
