Sudama is a 1800 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three people in a garden. One man walks with a bundle of straw, another sits on the ground holding a staff, and a woman kneels beside him. A bright red tree stands near a small hut, and pots sit on the ground. The background has a building with a balcony and some greenery. The red border around the scene looks like a frame. The colors are soft, with earthy browns and greens, but the tree’s red flowers pop. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
The painting depicts an illustration from a Sudama Krishna series, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper. It shows the brahmin Sudama seated with his wife, who is tying their offering to Krishna in his scarf, while to the left Sudama is depicted setting out for Krishna's palace.
