This painting represents William Caxton who was an English merchant, writer and printer, at his residence in Westminster Hall. Caxton introduced the printing press to England in 1476. Forbes has avoided portraying Caxton his likeness as there was no authentic portrait of him for reference. Draped in a thick chrome yellow robe, Caxton stands in a posture of ease with his left leg in folded fashion atop a wooden stool. With his face turned in profile, he is seen examining a print, held in his hands. A crude printing press acts as another protagonist in this composition. Caxton’s headgear is tied in an informal fashion showing his approach towards dressing
The rich collection of Rashtrapati Bhavan has treasures dating from 3rd century B.C.E to contemporary times.

Subsequently a systematic effort to research and compile information on the art collection was initiated only during the tenure of President Pranab Mukherjee who assumed office on July 25, 2012.
