Sita and Rama is a 1750 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a scene with four people outdoors. Two men in bright, patterned clothes stand near a lying figure dressed in red and blue. One man holds a bow, and another leans on a spear. A woman in a simple white dress stands by a small building, holding a tray. The background has trees, a rocky hill, and a tent with clothes hanging inside. The colors are bold but faded, with reds, blues, and greens standing out against the earthy tones. The people look like they’re in a moment of tension or storytelling.

The painting, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1750, depicts Sita performing a gesture of reverence toward Rama, who is shown holding a bow and arrows.
