Vintage Ravi Varma Chromolithograph - Nataraj

This rare vintage Ravi Varma chromolithograph of Nataraj captures one of the most iconic depictions of Shiva — the cosmic dancer in motion, balancing creation and destruction with effortless grace. Even after a century, the artwork holds an energy that feels alive, with the classic Ravi Varma detailing that makes his devotional prints so universally loved.

Printed in the early 20th century, this oleograph has the gentle softness and colour tonality typical of original period chromolithographs. The ageing is natural and reassuring — the kind that tells you the piece has been preserved with care, without losing its character or depth.

The artwork comes in its original wooden frame, which adds to its charm and authenticity. The frame shows expected signs of age but remains strong and true to its time, offering the artwork the dignity of being seen just as it would have been displayed generations ago.
