Madhumadhavi Ragini is a 1760 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women standing on a balcony. One is gesturing toward a garden below, while the other holds something in her hands. The women wear bright, patterned clothes with long sleeves and flowing skirts. Behind them, a building with arched windows and a tiled roof frames a stormy sky with dark clouds and a flash of lightning. The border is thick with gold specks and dark blue lines, framing the scene like a window. The garden outside has trees and a small fence, while the women’s faces are painted with soft, delicate lines. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style used emotion and drama in art.
