Vintage Embellished Ravi Varma Chromolithograph - Shiv Parivar

This rare vintage Ravi Varma chromolithograph of Shiva Parivar is one of those pieces that immediately draws you in with its quiet beauty. Shiva, Parvati, and young Ganesha sit together in a moment of calm companionship, with Nandi resting faithfully in the foreground — a scene that feels deeply familiar to anyone who has grown up around Indian devotional art.

Created in the early 20th century, this oleograph has the gentle, graceful ageing that only time can give. What makes this artwork even more special is the hand embellishment added by its original owner. It’s subtle, personal, and adds a layer of texture that makes the print feel loved and lived-with — something many collectors look for.

The piece still sits in its original wooden frame, which carries its own story. The frame shows natural signs of age but remains sturdy, grounding the artwork in its era and giving it an authenticity that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.
