Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh and Karttikeya is a 1760 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows four figures under a big green tree. A seated man with curly yellow hair sits with a woman beside him. To the right, a small orange elephant-headed figure plays a drum, while a woman in yellow plays a flute. A white cow stands nearby, and a small child watches. Bright colors fill the scene, with pink, yellow, and orange clothing standing out against the green background. The small elephant-headed figure is Ganesh, a well-known deity in Hindu stories. His presence adds a playful touch to the scene. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this one.
The painting features opaque watercolours on paper, depicting Shiva, Parvati, Karttikeya, Ganesha, and the bull Nandi seated on a plain green ground, with a log fire beside them and a mango tree above. Parvati is shown playing a vina with yellow resonators.
