Hanuman bowing before Rama and Lakshmana,

A very attractive painting depicting Lord Hanuman taking a deep bow before Lord Rama and Lakshmana, visually representing the deep devotion and respect he has for his two protectors. The tranquil landscape forming the backdrop of this scene reflects the serenity of the moment with lotus flowers appearing in rivers on both sides of the figures, and a very elegantly depicted willow tree framing them. Likely painted in Rajasthan in the mid-nineteenth century.
