Pancham Ragini is a 1680 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two scenes side by side. On the left, three figures sit under a blue canopy: one man holds a fan, another stands with a tall staff, and a third kneels nearby. Behind them is a building with a white tower and a green tree. On the right, two people sit inside a pavilion, playing musical instruments under a green umbrella. The bright colors and detailed patterns fill every corner, from the flower border at the top to the patterned floor. The figures are dressed in rich fabrics, with gold and red accents. Look up Baroque to see how this style’s drama and detail shaped art.
A Ragamala painting in opaque watercolor on paper from 1680, this work depicts Pancham Ragini, a musical mode. To the right, lovers embrace in a pavilion while a maid uses a fly-whisk, and to the left, a servant pours rice into the hands of a musician. It belongs to the same series as IS. 64-1952.
