Hanuman, Rama and Sita is a 1710 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bright red sky with a group of figures in bold colors. A man in yellow stands front and center, holding something while others surround him—some seated, others standing. One figure in dark blue holds a long object, and another in pink stands to the right. The ground has a striped fence, and the paint looks worn in spots. The yellow-clad figure is likely the main subject, with the others forming a scene around him. The bright colors and dramatic poses fit a style that mixes action with detail. Next, check out the Baroque movement for more paintings with this kind of energy.
The painting from 1710, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper, depicts Rama and Sita seated while being worshipped by Hanuman, who kneels at their feet, accompanied by the bear king Jumbavan.
