About this work

This painting, titled Worship of the Gods (16 of 17), is a vibrant depiction of a scene from Hindu mythology. In the foreground, a white horse stands beside a building with a dark doorway, while an elephant leaps into a river, where three men float in a red boat. The background features a red sky with yellow and black swirls, and several buildings with red roofs. A figure in a green robe runs along the riverbank, and another figure in a white robe stands on the right side of the painting, holding a bow and arrow. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement.
