Ladies Shooting from a Pavilion is a 1830 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see two women in bright saris standing on a balcony, aiming bows at birds in the sky. The scene feels still, like a quiet moment frozen in time. This painting comes from Kota, a small kingdom in Rajasthan. Artists there often painted royal life with flat, bold colors and little shading. The women’s calm faces and precise poses suggest this was meant for a noble patron, not just a quick sketch. To see more work like this, look up kota school.
This may be a study for the painting Ladies Shooting from a Pavilion (1955.48)
