EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Women bathing before an architectural panorama" captures a scene of leisure and opulence in 18th century India. Painted by Fayzullah, an artist active during the Mughal era, this artwork showcases the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed within the palace walls. Despite the turmoil depicted in the background - with wars waged and forts besieged - life within the palace remains carefree and indulgent. The women depicted in this painting are seen engaging in various activities that reflect their privileged status. Some enjoy hookahs and music on balconies, while others take pleasure in swimming amidst a backdrop of beautiful architecture. The composition is richly detailed, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The women are adorned in exquisite garments, reflecting their refined taste and social standing. As they swim gracefully in a river or lounge by a fountain, they revel in their sumptuous surroundings. Chinese porcelain cups and bottles can be seen scattered around them as they indulge freely in liquor. This further highlights their extravagant lifestyle and appreciation for fine craftsmanship from distant lands. Through this artwork, Fayzullah transports us to a world where luxury knows no bounds. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of these privileged women who find solace amidst chaos outside palace walls.
