Radha is a 1690 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows three women in bright, patterned clothes inside a richly decorated room. The woman on the left holds a small tray, while the one in the middle stands with her hands folded. The third woman sits on a raised bed, dressed in red and white stripes, holding something in her lap. The walls are painted red with gold trim, and the ceiling has intricate blue designs with flowers. The women’s clothing and the detailed patterns suggest this might be from a time when such vivid colors and fabrics were important in art. The scene looks calm but full of quiet activity. To see more like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The artwork is a painting in opaque watercolour on paper, created around 1690, depicting Radha accompanied by a maid as they approach a bedchamber, part of a Nayaka Nayika series. Museum records indicate that the piece is from a series dated 1695 attributed to the painter Davayani.
