Untitled is a 1745 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A woman in bright orange and pink sits cross-legged under a tree, wrapped in a shawl. Behind her, a swing hangs from a pole, with a small figure inside. The sky is blue with fluffy clouds, and the ground is green with red and purple flowers. A dark shadowy wall looms in the background, while a small cup sits on the grass near her. The swing looks empty, but the tiny figure inside might hint at a hidden story. The painting’s bold colors and dramatic lighting are typical of its time. Check out the Baroque movement for more paintings with this bold style.
A yogini, dressed in an orange and pink shawl, is depicted seated beneath a tree, engaged in worship of a lingam, a shrine associated with Shiva, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper.
