Rama and Hanuman is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is packed with bright colors and busy scenes. At the top, two monkeys sit on a red bridge, surrounded by birds and clouds. Below, a group of people in patterned clothes gather around a central figure holding a long staff. The background is full of swirling patterns and strange shapes, like floating islands and animals. The people and monkeys seem to be part of a story, with lots of movement and action. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and greens—with some areas looking worn or faded over time. If you like this kind of detailed storytelling in art, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour on paper painting from 1850 depicts Rama, identifiable by his blue skin and a shield, alongside Hanuman and a group of monkeys from Hanuman's army, meeting a king and his consort, with two peacocks present in the upper section.
