Untitled is a 1725 watercolor by Bhavani Das|Dalchand, a Baroque work, depicting Hookah, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two men sit on a balcony overlooking a calm body of water. They wear bright, patterned robes and tall headgear, with one holding a curved pipe. The man on the left leans on a decorated chair, while the other rests his arm on a small table. The background shows distant buildings and a simple sky. Notice the tiny gold dots on the black shields at their feet—tiny details that make the scene feel rich. The colors are bold but balanced, with reds, greens, and gold standing out against the quiet water. If you like this style, look up Baroque to see how drama and detail shaped art across cultures.
