About this work

This bright print shows a many-armed figure in red and gold standing on a crouching lion. The figure holds weapons and tools in each hand while two smaller characters kneel nearby. The background is a blue sky with swirling clouds, and the edges are packed with red and green floral patterns. The figure’s extra arms and lion suggest this might be a god from Hindu stories. The bold colors and flat shapes make it look like a traditional print. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in other artworks.
