Gunakali Ragini is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women in a bright, decorated room. One sits on a low bed holding a fan, while the other stands nearby. The walls have shelves with hanging lamps, and outside a window, you can see a building with a red roof. The border is packed with flowers and swirling patterns in red, green, and gold. The women’s clothing is detailed with embroidery, and the scene feels lively despite the small space. The colors pop—reds, greens, and golds—making everything stand out. If you like this style, look up Baroque.
The artwork is a painting in opaque watercolours on paper, created around 1700 as an illustration for the musical mode Gunakali Ragini. It depicts a woman gathering flowers from a pot outside a palace setting, accompanied by attendants.
