Rama and Lakshmana is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, depicting Bow and Arrow, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a small painting from India. It shows two men in fine robes, sitting side by side. The colors are soft and warm, like late afternoon light. The figures look calm but strong. Their faces are smooth and symmetrical, a common style in Indian art from this time. You can see traces of gold in their jewelry that has worn down over the years.

The painting depicts Ramachandra, the seventh avatar of Vishnu in the form of Rama, accompanied by his half-brother Lakshmana, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1780.
