Dhanasri Ragini is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women sitting under a small pavilion. One holds a fan, the other a stringed instrument. The background has white domed buildings with green roofs and a red border frames the whole scene. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest this is a moment of music and rest. The women’s clothing is rich with gold and jewel tones, and the setting looks like a palace courtyard. Look up Baroque next to see how this style’s drama and detail shaped art.
