Artist
Chhajju Lal
Chhajju Lal is an Impressionism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Chhajju Lal was the go-to painter for royal portraits in late-1800s India, always dressed in a spotless white kurta even when mixing paints. He didn’t just paint faces—he gave every ruler a calm, watchful gaze and draped them in rich silks that look freshly pressed. If you’ve seen the peacock-blue turban in the portrait of Emperor Muhammed Shah from 1893, you’ve met Chhajju Lal’s signature style.
