Pancham Raga is a 1710 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bright, layered indoor scene with three people. On the left, two men sit on a balcony, one holding a small object toward a woman standing in the doorway. She wears a yellow dress and stands between them and a man and woman seated inside, holding a baby. The balcony has a railing, and above it, a rooftop with a yellow pavilion and a distant ocean view. The walls are decorated with small windows and hanging lamps. The woman in yellow seems to be the focus, standing between the two worlds—inside and outside. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest this was made for someone who loved rich, decorative art. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more paintings like it.
