About the piece

Dating from approximately 1750, this South Asian miniature illustrates a moment from the Ramayana, showing Lakshmana hanging a hunt on a tree as Rama and Sita rest beside a serene lotus pond. The composition balances a dense, dark forest with undulating pink-toned hills, rendered with the meticulous brushwork and rich palette characteristic of the Pahari school.
