Bangali Ragini is a 1670 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a low platform, reading from an open book while holding a quill in her other hand. Behind her is a white building with arched windows and a red roof, topped with domed towers. The walls are bright red, and there’s a small garden with green plants and pink flowers outside her window. The text at the top reads *Bangali Ragini*, which likely refers to a musical or poetic theme. The woman’s focused pose suggests she’s deeply engaged in her work.
