About this work

This watercolor shows a plump pink Ganesha seated on a throne. A small rat rests at his feet. The god holds a broken tusk, a snake, and a bowl of sweets. South Indian artists often painted Ganesha this way. The colors are bright but simple. The brushstrokes are quick and light. Look for more Indian art next at the Museum of Ethnography.
