About the piece
This vibrant Indian miniature from circa 1800 depicts the young Lord Rama and his brothers during their traditional education. Seated on a rich floral carpet within the Gurukula, the royal brothers attend to the teachings of the sage Vashishtha. The work is characterized by its bold use of red and yellow against a deep green ground, framed by an elegant foliate arch typical of the period's refined artistic style.
