Goddess Saraswati - I

Goddess Saraswati - I
Ravi Varma Press | Oleograph | Burma Paper Silk | 19th Century

A peacock rests quietly at her feet as Saraswati draws music from her veena beside a gently flowing river, dressed in soft pink and silver. In her remaining hands she carries a japamala and a book, marks of the wisdom and learning she represents. Produced at the Ravi Varma Press, this oleograph carries the delicate shading and calm expression that made the goddess a familiar and beloved presence in homes and schools alike.
