Khumba Raga is a 1700 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two people outdoors on a grassy field. The person on the left wears a red dress with blue sleeves and gold jewelry, holding a pot. The person on the right has a striped pink and orange outfit, a blue hat with a feather, and is reaching for the pot. Between them is a stack of yellow dishes with black patterns. The bright colors and bold outlines give it a lively, almost flat look. The scene feels like a moment frozen in time, with careful attention to clothing and objects.
