This painting shows a woman sitting on a lotus flower. She has four arms and holds a sword and a bowl. Below her, a blue-skinned elephant guy kneels, holding a flower and a pot. To the right, a tiger stands tall. Around them float odd shapes like a snake, a foot, and a bowl. The woman and the elephant are gods from Hindu stories. The bright colors and simple lines make it look like a storybook illustration. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
