Rama, Sita and Lakshmana is a 1830 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four figures sitting under a big tree by a pond. The man on the left has a long white beard and wears bright yellow robes. Beside him is a woman in blue. To the right, another man with blue skin and a golden crown sits with a woman and a boy. The pond has lotus flowers, and birds fly in the sky. The blue-skinned man is likely a god from Hindu stories. The painting’s bright colors and detailed nature scenes fit a style called *Romanticism*. Next, look up Romanticism to see how it shaped art beyond just this painting.
