Dandin and Draupadi is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three figures in bright, flat colors. On the left, a woman in a yellow sari with blue sleeves stands with her hands clasped. Next to her, a man in a green robe and red headgear gestures with one hand while riding a white horse. A smaller figure sits on the horse, dressed in a simple white cloth. The bold outlines and solid colors suggest this might be inspired by storytelling traditions. The woman’s dark face stands out against the lighter background, which is a common feature in Indian miniature paintings. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The work is a watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard from 1890 depicting Dandin summoning Draupadi.
