EDITORS COMMENTS
Milkmaids on the Riverbank" is a captivating folio from the seventeenth-century Indian manuscript "Rasikapriya" or "The Connoisseur's Delights." The unknown artist masterfully depicted a scene of daily life along the banks of a tranquil river in this opaque watercolor and gold on paper artwork. In the image, a group of milkmaids, dressed in vibrant saris, are shown engaged in their chore of carrying large earthen pots filled with milk on their heads. The red and colorful clothing of the women contrasts beautifully with the cool, calming tones of the river and the lush greenery surrounding it. The milkmaids are seen in a full-length pose, their faces expressing a sense of focus and determination as they balance the heavy pots on their heads. The scene is set in the geographical feature of a riverbank, a common location for milkmaids to carry out their daily chores in India during the seventeenth century. The milkmaids are also known as bhishtis or bhistis, water carriers, in Hindu culture. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of people in Hindustan (India) during the seventeenth century and offers insight into the fashion and clothing of the time. The "Rasikapriya" manuscript is a valuable heritage art piece from Rajasthan, India, and is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. The unknown artist's skillful use of color and gold in this folio is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia and the intricacies of Hinduism. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the art, culture, and history of India and the seventeenth century.
