Ramakali Ragini is a 1640 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures sitting on a cushioned platform under a red canopy. One holds a fan, the other a book. Behind them, a small building with a peaked roof sits in a bright, flat landscape. To the left, a curtained doorway hides a room with a bed and a few objects on the floor. The colors are bold—reds, greens, and purples—with sharp outlines and no deep shadows. The scene looks like a quiet moment in a palace or garden. Next, check out the Baroque movement to see how this style fits in.
