About the piece

Attributed to the artist Guman around 1750, this masterfully executed painting depicts an episode from the Ramayana where Bharata and Shatrughana visit the sage Bharadwaja. The work is notable for its vibrant use of red and green pigments and its dense, narrative composition, capturing the grandeur of a royal encampment within a serene landscape.
