Gunakali Ragini is a 1635 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women in a courtyard. One stands holding a baby, while the other sits near a pot, both dressed in flowing robes. Behind them is a building with a white dome, a small window, and a decorated balcony. Bright flowers and green plants fill the edges, and the sky above has wavy clouds. The artist used bold colors and patterns to fill every corner, even the borders. The women’s faces are simple but expressive, and the architecture looks like a mix of real buildings and stylized designs.
