Santosh K Sharma captures the dignified bearing of a British Indian Army officer in full ceremonial regalia - creating a portrait that embodies military precision and colonial pageantry.

This watercolor portrayal is also seen at the Polo Lounge in Delhi's Imperial Hotel, reflecting the careful attention paid to military dress during the British Raj. The artist skillfully conveys how these elaborate uniforms served as visual projections of imperial power and authority during the height of the English Empire in India. The composition balances documentary precision with artistic sensitivity, placing the uniformed figure against a neutral background that emphasizes the striking color contrast. The painting serves as both a historical document and a meditation on how colonial power was expressed through visual presentation, making it a compelling conversation piece for collectors interested in imperial history and Indo-British cultural connections.
