Untitled is a 1760 paint by Manaku, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a low platform, dressed in soft pink and orange clothes. She’s holding a small object in her hands and looking down. Behind her is a simple railing, and beyond that, a flat landscape with a few buildings and trees. To her right sits a red and gold hookah with a long hose coiled beside it. The colors are calm—lots of pale pinks, greens, and blues—with gold details on the furniture and frame. The scene feels quiet, like a moment frozen in time. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
The painting by Manaku from 1760 is executed in opaque watercolour on paper and portrays a woman smoking a huqqa, with a grey lake and wooded meadow in the background.
