Woman in yellow sari seated on rocks under a palm tree beside a pond and hills, in a colorful chromolithograph.

Sita in exile. Chromolithograph by R. Varma.

A woman in a golden-yellow sari and white blouse sits on dark rocks beneath a palm tree, gazing off to the right with her hands clasped in her lap. Behind her, a quiet pond, distant hills, and a small figure near a hut suggest a forest landscape, rendered in rich, flat chromolithographic color.
