The artwork meticulously portrays the intricate details of military dress, highlighting the rich textures and vibrant colors of the uniform.

About British Raj Soldier (L) by Santosh K Sharma

Created in a substantial 36" x 24" format and elegantly framed, this watercolor is a testament to Sharma’s skill in blending documentary precision with artistic expression. The piece, also featured at the Polo Lounge in Delhi's Imperial Hotel, underscores the role of military uniforms as symbols of imperial power during the British Raj. Through careful attention to detail and color contrast, the painting not only documents a historical moment but also serves as a meditation on colonial authority and visual representation. This artwork is a significant acquisition for collectors interested in the cultural intersections of the English Empire and India, offering both historical insight and aesthetic appeal.
