Vishnu and Lakshmi is a 1730 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a giant white snake floating on water. On top of it sits a woman in a pink dress, holding a lotus flower. Around her are other people, some riding a white cow and others standing on the shore. The snake’s head is open, revealing a small boat with two men inside. One man holds a golden object, while the other looks down. The colors are bright but faded, with lots of gold and blue details.

The painting depicts Vishnu and Lakshmi seated on the serpent of eternity, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1730.
