Sanehi Ragini, from the “Second Basohli" Ragamala is a 1692 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two people inside a bright, enclosed space. The woman sits on a low platform, holding a fan and a small object. The man kneels beside her, dressed in green and red with gold trim. Behind them, a balcony with small towers and a yellow wall frames the scene. The colors are bold—reds, greens, and golds—with a patterned rug on the floor. Notice how the figures are lit from one side, creating soft shadows. This style was common in Indian miniatures of the time. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
