Shiva and Parvati is a 1860 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting radha, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures riding a white bull under a tree. The person on the left wears a yellow robe with black dots and a tall headdress. The person on the right has a red outfit with gold trim and a smaller hat, holding a fan. The background is green with trees and a sky that looks like it’s fading into evening. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene feel lively but a little dreamy. The bull they’re riding is a key detail—it’s not just a regular animal here.
