Chandra is a 1885 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting features a man sitting cross-legged, adorned with an orange robe and a green shawl draped over his left shoulder. He wears a crown on his head and holds a small object in his right hand. The man is set against a gray background, surrounded by a yellow oval with a red outline. The man's attire and accessories suggest a regal or spiritual figure, possibly a deity or a king. The painting's style, with its emphasis on bold lines and vibrant colors, is reminiscent of traditional Indian art. This painting is a great example of the Impressionism movement.
The artwork is an opaque watercolour painting on paper from 1885, created by an unknown artist, depicting Chandra, the Hindu moon god. It was later acquired from Miss M Steele, having been part of a collection inherited from her mother.
