Ganga is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a seated woman with a blue and red outfit, riding a yellow fish. She has a tall crown with jewels and holds a small red object in one hand. A smaller figure stands beside her, wearing purple and yellow. The background is plain, but the colors pop bright against it. The woman’s face is simple but expressive, with bold outlines and flat colors. The fish she rides looks almost like a boat, with a sharp tail fin. The artist used clean lines and strong colors to keep things clear and easy to read. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard from 1890 depicts the goddess Ganga riding atop a marine creature, accompanied by a dwarf figure preceding her.
