Ganesha is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a four-armed figure sitting cross-legged on a yellow-and-green platform. The figure wears a red skirt with white dots, a gold headpiece, and a necklace. One hand holds a small object, another rests on the knee, and the other two gesture upward. Below, a small mouse stands on a yellow line. The figure’s face has three dots for eyes and a curved smile. The background is mostly empty except for a bright yellow circle behind the head. The colors are bold—reds, yellows, and greens—with black outlines.

Wild and entered the Department of Prints and Drawings collection in 1889, now held on permanent loan by the Indian Section under reference RP 51/2237.
