Hanuman, Rama and Lakshmana is a 1865 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a muscular figure with a lion’s tail kneeling on one knee. He wears a golden crown and yellow skirt, holding a golden circle in one hand and a small figure in the other. Behind him, two smaller figures stand—one green and one pale—while the main figure looks down with a serious face. The main figure’s pose and the small figures suggest a story from Hindu tradition. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene stand out clearly. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
