Kakubha Ragini is a 1610 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a bright red dress standing in a garden. She’s holding a fan, and her face is turned slightly toward us. Around her, two peacocks stand near bushes with red berries, while a small bird sits on the ground. The background is yellow with green plants and a blue sky. The woman’s dress has fine patterns, and the peacocks’ feathers are painted in deep blues and greens. The colors are bold but faded in spots, like the edges of the painting. Look up Baroque next to see how this style used drama and detail in art.
