A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting on paper depicts Raja Bikramajit, a man with a medium skin tone, in profile facing our right. Standing against a turquoise background, he wears a red turban, yellow shawl, white skirt, and patterned green trousers. A sword and dagger hang from his sash. The central panel sits within a peach frame and a wide cream border where delicate floral sprigs bloom and Persian script appears below.
