This vibrant cromo-lithograph, titled “The Late Emperor of Delhi,” features a portrait of a Mughal emperor, likely Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last ruler of the Mughal Empire. The image showcases the emperor adorned in an ornate robe and an intricately designed crown, richly embellished with gemstones and feathers, reflecting the opulence of the Mughal court. The detailed color work brings out the emperor’s dignified appearance, with a wise and serene expression.
