A Moonlight Music Party is a 1900 by Abanindranath Tagore, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a quiet night scene. A small group sits listening as a woman plays the sitar. The soft light wraps around them, hinting at deeper meaning. The artist, Abanindranath Tagore, led a movement that blended Indian traditions with modern ideas. He wanted to keep local art alive under British rule. If you like this style, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
