Kanara Ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a white dress standing on a balcony, with a man and a child below her. The woman is wearing a crown and holding a fan, while the man is dressed in white and has his arm raised. The child is wearing a green outfit and holding a stick. The scene is set against a light blue background, with a red border around the edges of the painting. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, with the use of pastel colors and delicate lines creating a sense of subtlety and nuance. The painting is reminiscent of the Baroque movement, with its use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting creating a sense of depth and emotion.
A Ragamala painting in opaque watercolor on paper, this work depicts a prince bowing to a blue-skinned Krishna, who stands on a balcony accompanied by a maid holding a fly whisk. Below, to the right, a large elephant is shown. The painting illustrates the musical mode Kanara Ragini and belongs to the same series as IS. 64-1952.
