A woman sits alone in a small room, her head turned away. A friend points at her while talking to a man in a fancy turban—Krishna. The colors are soft and simple, with no shadows to make things look deep. This painting comes from a book of love poems in central India. The flat style and bright colors were common in Malwa art at the time. The turban shows how Mughal fashion mixed with local traditions. To see more like this, look up central india, madhya pradesh, malwa.
