Asavari Ragini is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
You see a woman kneeling by a riverbank, arms raised as if playing a vina. She wears a yellow sari and green jewelry. A blue bird flies above her left shoulder. This is from a Ragamala series—miniature paintings that pair music with mood. Each raga has colors tied to its emotion. The artist used soft washes for the river and sharp lines for her jewelry. To see more like this, check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A painting from a 1700s Ragamala series depicts a seated woman receiving a leg massage from a maid, while another maid fans her with a flywhisk; trees with creepers frame the scene, set against a chocolate background with yellow borders.
