Purvi Ragini is a 1710 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three women in a bright, enclosed space with a balcony. The woman in the center sits on a raised seat, dressed in green and gold, holding a fan. The other two stand on either side, wearing long, patterned dresses in pink and yellow. Above them is a rooftop with domed towers and a blue sky with fluffy clouds. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest a scene of daily life, possibly a moment of leisure or conversation. The painting’s edges are worn, showing its age. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped art with drama and detail.
A painting in opaque watercolour on paper, created in 1710 as an illustration to the musical mode Purvi Ragini, depicts a woman seated with her arms raised above her head. The work is attributed to an unknown artist.
