Gunakali Ragini is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting jaipur, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A princess sits on a throne under a flowered canopy. Her friend waves a fly whisk over her head. Below, a musician kneels on a carpet that looks like it’s standing up. The painting comes from a set of pictures that matched poems with music. The artist made the carpet vertical so you can see its lily pattern clearly. The verse at the top says the princess is lost in thoughts of love while she picks flowers. Look up more paintings of rajasthan to see how other artists showed royal life.
