About this work

This painting shows a bright, busy scene with four figures. On the left, a blue-skinned monkey-like man holds a white horse. In the center, a man rides the horse while holding a bow, wearing a red and gold outfit. To the right, a chariot with a red canopy carries two people—one in yellow and one in pink. The background has a red hill, green trees, and a blue sky with fluffy clouds. The names at the bottom—Hanuman, Lakshman, Rama, and Sita—match the figures. The horse’s saddle has a blue disc, which might be a symbol. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more paintings like it.
