EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from a 17th century Ramayana depicts the legendary trio of Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. Rama, the prince of Ayodhya and the embodiment of righteousness, is shown here in profile, holding a bow and arrow, symbolizing his warrior prowess. His brother Lakshmana, dressed in a lunghi or loincloth, stands beside him, protecting his sister Sita with a bow at the ready. Sita, the beloved consort of Rama, is dressed in a vibrant sari, her skin a rich brown hue. The trio is depicted against a plain background, with their opaque watercolor and gold on paper outfits adding a regal and otherworldly quality to the scene. The Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic that tells the story of Rama's quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The text is considered a foundational work of Hinduism and has been passed down through generations in both oral and written form. This folio, likely created between 1685 and 1690, is a testament to the enduring popularity and influence of the Ramayana in South East Asian art and culture. The folio is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, adding to its rich collection of Asian and Hindu art. The intricate details of the clothing and the subtle color palette showcase the skill and artistry of the unknown artist, making this a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art and literature.
