Nala is a 1760 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two groups of people in bright colors. On the left, two women sit under a decorated archway, holding hands and looking at each other. On the right, three men kneel or sit outside, passing small objects between them. The background has a green tree and a building with patterned walls. The women’s clothing is detailed with floral designs, while the men wear loose robes in reds, greens, and purples. The scene feels calm, with no harsh lines—just soft shapes and gentle colors. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this one.
The painting depicts an opaque watercolor on paper scene from a Nala Damayanti series, showing Damayanti sending her nurse Vrihatsena to summon the charioteer Varshneya while Nala gambles away his kingdom to Pushkara.
