Lalit Ragini is a 1750 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a woman reclining on a green bed, adorned in a yellow skirt and green top. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears gold jewelry. A woman in an orange sari stands beside her, holding a small object. The room features a blue and white tiled floor, a red curtain, and a doorway leading to a gray brick wall with a tree visible outside. The walls are decorated with intricate designs and vases. The woman on the bed appears to be in a relaxed state, possibly enjoying a leisurely activity. The presence of the other woman suggests a sense of companionship or service. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this artwork, offering a glimpse into the artistic styles of the 18th century.
The painting depicts Lalit Ragini, a woman reclining on a green-covered charpoi, accompanied by a maid who offers a tray and goblet. Behind them is a curtained canopy, a grey wall with a door, and a tree. Created in 1750 using opaque watercolour and gold on paper, the work was acquired in 1922 from the London dealer Arthur Churchill for £126.
