About the piece

This exquisite illustration from a Ragamala series depicts Shri Raga, a fundamental musical mode in Indian tradition. The scene portrays a noble couple attended by a servant and entertained by musicians, all rendered with the intricate detail and jewel-like tones of the Mughal school. Set against a backdrop of architectural elements and lush foliage, the work offers a window into the sophisticated aesthetic of 18th-century Indian courtly life.
