Parvati offering wine to Siva

About this work

This painting shows a group of figures in bright, flat colors. One figure sits in the center, holding a cup, while others stand around—some with instruments. The background is dark with a few floating shapes, and the colors are mostly orange, purple, and blue. The figures look simplified, almost like cut-out shapes. The artist used bold outlines and bright patches of color instead of smooth shading. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
