Click to enlarge. I know nothing about this image, which was brought to me by Stumble at a site that seemed to allow no other access. I just think it's cool. If anybody recognizes this work and can tell me who did it or how old it is, please let me know.

After a some googling, I found this:

It has an even bigger version of the painting at:

It's "Rama's Army Crosses the Ocean to Lanka." It is a depiction of a scene from the Ramacharitamanas of Goswami Tulsidas, one of the great epics of Indian literature. The poem is from the 16th century and the art is late 18th - and I am a big fan of it, too.
This was at the British Museum recently, on loan from a museum in Jodhpur - a super-cool museum (the Mehrangarh museum trust at Mehrangarh Fort).
Thanks!
