Rama, Kusha and Lava is a 1865 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a scene with three figures and a horse. The central figure, wearing a yellow and orange outfit, is shown with outstretched arms, while the other two figures are dressed in green and orange attire. A blue creature is seen flying above them, and a white horse stands to the right. The scene appears to be set against a light-colored background, with some greenery visible in the upper right corner. The overall style of the painting suggests a blend of Impressionism and Realism, with attention to detail and a focus on capturing the essence of the scene. This painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This opaque watercolor and tin alloy painting on paper from 1865 illustrates a scene from the Ramayana in which Rama battles his twin sons, Kusha and Lava, to reclaim a sacrificial horse. The figures engage in combat, their weapons and adornments rendered in metallic tin alloy. Hanuman, depicted with blue fur, is shown in mid-flight, wielding a tree as a weapon against Rama.
