Saraswati is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman sits among bright flowers, playing a stringed instrument. Her clothes are rich—deep blues, reds, and golds—with bold patterns. A peacock stands beside her, its feathers shimmering. The colors pop against the light background, and her face glows with a gentle expression. This painting comes from a time when artists in India used vivid colors and detailed patterns. The peacock isn’t just decoration—it’s a symbol tied to knowledge and music. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A watercolor painting on paper from 1850, featuring Saraswati with tin alloy details, was acquired by the Department of Prints and Drawings in 1889 from G. Wild.
