About the piece

Attributed to the master artist Mola Ram, this painting from the Rukmini Mangal series showcases the refined Garhwal style of the late 18th century. The scene features delicate architectural detailing, a lush garden with flowering plants, and figures rendered with expressive gestures and rich, pigmented colors characteristic of North Indian schools.
