A Couple on a Terrace Surrounded by Attendants and Musicians is a 1701 watercolor by Indian 18th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man and woman sitting on a raised platform with three others around them. The man wears a red hat and a green robe, while the woman beside him has a pale face and dark clothes. Behind them, a building with columns and a moonlit sky stretch into the distance, with a river and trees beyond. The bright colors and flowing patterns around the edge look like vines and flowers. The gold accents make the scene feel fancy and important. Look up *watercolor, glazing* to see how artists built up colors like this.
These artists painted delicate portraits and court scenes on paper, using fine watercolors and gold.
