Hanuman, Rama and Laksmana is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three figures on a bright green and orange background. A monkey-like character with a blue skirt and red arms carries a smaller figure on its back, while two men in colorful clothes stand above, holding sticks. The border is dark blue, and the scene looks busy but balanced. The text at the bottom reads *"Hanuman bearing Rama & Laksmon."* That’s the name of the story here—a monkey helping two heroes.

An opaque watercolor painting on paper from 1850 depicts Hanuman, the monkey god, carrying Rama and Lakshmana. The work is part of an album assembled by J. Lockwood Kipling between 1865 and 1893, which includes 196 prints, paintings, and drawings, primarily native lithographs from bazaars and fairs in Upper India and Bengal. The album was later donated to the museum by his son, Rudyard Kipling, in 1917.
