EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Ragamala series, believed to have been created between 1700 and 1710. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The artwork depicts a woman named Ragini, possibly Asavari, in all her splendor. Dressed in traditional Indian clothing from the eighteenth century, she stands gracefully amidst nature's beauty. The vibrant colors used in this Indian miniature painting bring life to the scene. Intricate details are evident throughout the composition - from the delicate brushstrokes that depict the lush plants and trees surrounding Ragini to the precise rendering of her attire. Her flowing skirt adds movement and elegance while complementing her profession as a snake charmer. A reptile slithers at her feet, symbolizing both danger and harmony with nature. This juxtaposition highlights the deep connection between humans and their environment in Hindu culture. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to India's rich artistic history. Its presence evokes admiration for both its aesthetic appeal and cultural significance. As viewers gaze upon this enchanting image, they are transported back in time - immersed in an era where skilled artisans brought stories to life through ink and opaque watercolor on paper.
