About the piece

This exquisite 19th-century Indian miniature painting depicts a scene from the Ramayana, where Sita offers fruits to Rama during their exile in the Dandaka forest. The work is characterized by its vibrant color palette, particularly the striking pink of the stylized rocky landscape, and the delicate rendering of the figures and flora typical of the Pahari school.
