About Jivan Ram
Jivan Ram was a painter.
Jiwan Ram was an Indian artist active in the 19th century. He was a Delhi-based painter who worked with oil-on-canvas techniques but was a versatile artist who could work in other methods and mediums, such as miniature portraits on board and ivory. He worked as an independent painter without a patron rather than as an employee of the British East India Company, facing no competition from British artists in upper India in this period. In early 1838, Jiwan Ram shifted to Meerut. ''
