Varuni is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a red sari holding a glass of wine. Her dark hair is pinned up. The background is plain and light brown. The lighting is soft, with no sharp edges. The artist used loose brushstrokes. It looks like they painted fast, almost like they didn’t care about details. You can see the canvas peeking through in spots. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this.
The artwork depicts Varuni, the twenty-fourth lunar mansion, rendered in watercolour and tin alloy on cardboard. A female figure is shown seated atop an owl while holding a dish.
