Malasri ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bright red palace scene with three women dressed in colorful clothes. Two women sit on a balcony under a yellow flower border, while a third woman stands nearby holding a fan. Inside, another woman sits at a table with a tray of food and a round dish with writing on it. The painting uses flat colors and clear outlines, with no deep shadows. The women’s faces are calm, and the background has a white building with arches and a garden with two green trees. Look up Baroque to see how this style compares to other dramatic art.
