Rama and Surpanakha is a 1880 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures in bright, flat colors. The man on the left wears a yellow skirt, red vest, and green crown, holding a green object. The woman on the right is bare-chested, with heavy jewelry and a twisted pose, reaching up toward him. The background has a simple tree and some faint outlines. The woman’s dramatic expression and the man’s calm stance suggest a tense moment. The colors are bold but not blended, giving it a flat, graphic look.
