Dina Nath (1795-1857) was a civil administrator and counsellor of great influence at the Sikh court of the Panjab for over three decades. He was made finance minister by Maharaja Ranjit Singh (r. 1801-1839) in 1834, and eventually became a member of the Regency Council of Dulip Singh, the last ruler of the kingdom. In this lightly drawn portrait that was probably done between about 1835 and 1845, he is depicted sitting on the ground holding a petition, with his pen case and a bundle of documents before him. The painting was given to the museum by Miss M.W. Patterson in 1953.
