EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio, featuring Bhopali Ragini, is a captivating example of an 18th century Ragamala painting from India. Hailing from the rich artistic heritage of Hindustan, this opaque watercolor on paper artwork showcases the elegance and refinement of the aristocracy during this period. The painting depicts two men, dressed in ornate apparel, standing before a camel and its attendant. The nobleman on the left, adorned in a coat of white and gold, holds a shield and a sword, while his companion, dressed in a similar fashion, wields a lance and a pair of swords. The animals, with their intricate patterns and vibrant colors, add a touch of the exotic to the scene. The concept of Ragamala paintings originated from Hinduism, with each painting representing a specific raga, or melody, from Indian classical music. This particular painting is believed to be dedicated to the Bhopali Raga. The intricate details, from the folds of the clothing to the textures of the animal hides, demonstrate the exceptional skill and artistry of the unknown artist. This magnificent artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of South East Asia during the 18th century.
