Rama, Sita and Lakshmana is a 1820 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three figures in a garden. A man in a turban sits on a rock, talking to a woman draped in a green sari who lounges on a curved bench. A third woman kneels in front of them, holding something small, dressed in a yellow skirt with red stripes. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the edges are framed in red. The woman on the bench has a calm expression, while the kneeling woman looks up at her. The colors are bright but faded, especially the red frame. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style shaped art.
The painting, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1820, depicts Rama and Sita seated on a deerskin mat within a forest setting, while Lakshmana attends to a nearby fire.
