Kama and Shiva is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four figures in bright, flat colors. A seated man with a long beard and snake hair sits on a tiger skin, holding a bow. Two women stand near him—one in red and purple, the other in yellow and red. A fourth woman sits on the ground, holding a bow and arrow. The background has a tree and a glowing sunburst. The bold colors and simple shapes make the scene feel lively but not detailed. The tiger skin under the man’s legs adds a striking contrast to the bright clothing. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard from 1890 depicts Kama, the god of love, aiming a love-arrow at Shiva.
