Harsa Raga is a 1705 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two people standing in an orange field with tall green plants on either side. The person on the left wears a blue and white patterned dress with yellow trim, and a red headscarf. The person on the right is dressed in a long red robe with gold accents and a white hat with feathers. Their hands are outstretched toward each other, as if in conversation. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene feel lively, even though the background is simple. The way the figures are positioned suggests they’re sharing something important.
