About this work

Two Indian ladies stand side by side in a watercolor on ivory. One holds a small drum. The other grips a bowed string instrument called a sarangi. Painted around 1860, this tiny picture shows real instruments with care. Tiny brushstrokes catch the sheen of the drumhead and the wood grain of the sarangi. See it in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
