Varuna and Dandin is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three people in bright, flat colors. A man in a red and blue outfit stands tall, holding a curved object like a sword. A woman in purple kneels beside him, wearing a green headpiece with dangling ornaments. Another woman in a simple gray dress watches them from the side. The purple-clad woman’s pose looks like she’s in motion, almost like she’s dancing or performing. The colors are bold and the lines are sharp, not blended. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard depicts the mythological encounter between Varuna and Dandin.
