This stunning lithograph by Raja Ravi Varma depicts Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth and prosperity, standing gracefully on a lotus flower amidst turbulent waters. The goddess is portrayed in a traditional white sari with a green blouse, adorned with jewelry, and surrounded by a divine golden halo. She holds symbolic items in her multiple hands, and her serene expression reflects the artist's masterful ability to blend Indian classical art with European realist techniques. This lithograph, titled  Sri Lakshmi, was one of many that helped democratize art in India by making mythological imagery accessible to the common people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
