Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four bright figures standing outdoors. The man in the center has a green face and a yellow skirt, holding a yellow parasol. To his right, a woman in a red and gold outfit wears a crown. On his left, another man in a green hat and dark clothes holds a stick. A small black figure crouches near their feet. The green-faced man and woman are labeled "Rama" and "Sita," names from a famous story. The painting uses flat colors and simple shapes, with bold outlines. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth.
A watercolor painting on paper with tin-alloy highlights depicts the figures of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman. The work was acquired by the Department of Prints and Drawings in 1889 from G. Wild.
