Two Ladies on a Terrace
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating folio from the "Amaru Sataka" (Hundred Stanzas of Amaru), a 17th-century poetic work of unknown origin from Madhya Pradesh, India, or possibly Malwa, in South East Asia. The image depicts two young women, elegantly dressed in saris, seated on a terrace overlooking a serene landscape under the light of the full moon. The opaque watercolor and gold on paper illustration reveals intricate details of the women's apparel, showcasing the rich textures and vibrant colors typical of the region's traditional clothing. The architectural backdrop of the terrace, with its intricate carvings and arches, adds to the overall grandeur of the scene. The ladies are adorned with jewelry and accessories, further emphasizing their regal presence. The moon, a prominent feature in the composition, casts a gentle glow over the scene, reflecting off the water below and illuminating the landscape. The "Amaru Sataka" is a significant work of Hindustani literature, and this folio is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the time. The image invites us to ponder the lives of these two young women, their connection to each other, and the world around them. The fusion of poetry, art, and science, as evidenced by the depiction of the solar system in the background, further highlights the intellectual and artistic sophistication of the era. This folio is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and literary traditions of South East Asia during the 17th century.
