EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print from the Ragamala Album, School of Rajasthan, transports us to a bygone era in India. The image depicts a scene filled with intrigue and seduction as a prince leads a woman towards the sleeping chamber. Their attire reflects the vibrant colors and rich textiles characteristic of Indian clothing, with the woman elegantly draped in a sari. The couple is seen walking through an exquisite palace garden, surrounded by majestic buildings that exude royal grandeur. The lush greenery and open terrace create an enchanting backdrop for their clandestine encounter. As they stand outside the bedroom door, one can only imagine what awaits them inside. The composition captures not only the physical beauty of its subjects but also hints at deeper emotions and desires. The prince's confident demeanor suggests his role as both leader and seducer, while the woman's coy expression reveals her willingness to be led into this forbidden rendezvous. This artwork offers us a glimpse into courtly life during 19th-century Rajasthan, where love affairs were often entangled within political alliances and societal expectations. It serves as a testament to the intricate dance between power, desire, and tradition that played out within these opulent walls. Preserved in Jean Claude Carriere's collection, this print allows us to appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also its historical significance as it showcases art media from hindoostan (India) during that time period.
