Dhanasri Ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two scenes stacked vertically. The top scene is indoors: three women in colorful clothes sit near a window with a view of a white building and a yellow couch. One woman holds a book, another stands holding a fan. The bottom scene is outdoors: a man rides a red horse toward a set of pink stairs, where a servant waits. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene feel lively. The women’s clothing has intricate patterns, and the horse’s saddle is decorated with gold.
