This is a vintage decorated oleograph by Raja Ravi Varma depicting Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, and wisdom. She is depicted sitting gracefully on a lotus flower with a Veena, an Indian musical instrument, in her hands.  The oleograph was printed at Malavli Press, a renowned printing press located in the Malavli village of Maharashtra, India. Malavli Press was known for producing high-quality oleographs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and their prints were in high demand among the Indian population during that era. This vintage decorated Saraswati oleograph by Raja Ravi Varma is a fascinating piece of art that represents the cultural and artistic heritage of India.
