About the piece
This striking 19th-century watercolor from Calcutta illustrates a pivotal moment from the Ramayana, showing the monkey god Hanuman carrying Rama and Lakshmana. Rendered in the iconic Kalighat style, the work features bold outlines, a vibrant red palette, and rhythmic brushstrokes that capture both the strength and devotion of the central figure.
