Buddha in meditation is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a seated figure in a rounded frame, dressed in bright colors—yellow, red, and white—with a golden crown and jewelry. The figure sits on a raised platform with steps, looking calm and still. The background is plain gray, and the edges of the frame are painted red, green, and gold. The figure’s pose and the simple, bold colors suggest it’s meant to feel peaceful and powerful. The painting’s flat style and bright colors were common in some Asian art traditions.
