Saraswati is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three figures on a bright yellow platform with red dots. The person in the center sits on a throne, wearing a golden crown and holding a book and a musical instrument. To their left, a woman in a white dress stands with her hands folded. To the right, a man in a pink skirt plays a game with a bat and ball. A white bird stands on the ground in front of the throne. The scene looks like it’s set outdoors, with a green field and a distant building in the background. The colors are bold and flat, with no deep shadows. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more works like this.
