Rama, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman is a 1765 paint by Unknown, a company_painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows five figures in bright, flat colors under a red-and-gold canopy. The central man sits on a raised seat, holding a lotus and wearing a blue-and-gold outfit with a glowing halo. To his left, a woman in a long pink-and-green dress stands with hands folded. To his right, another woman in a yellow sari holds a lotus, and a man with a bow stands behind her. A smaller figure with a monkey’s head and a yellow loincloth crouches on the left, holding a staff. The painting looks worn, with some edges chipped away. The figures’ faces are calm, and the background is simple—just a plain wall and a few trees. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
