EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio, depicting the Month of Bhadon (August-September) from a Barahmasa (The Twelve Months) manuscript, dates back to the 18th century, approximately between 1700 and 1725. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The scene unfolds indoors, where three figures, two males and one female, are gathered around an ornate palace interior. The central figure, likely a deity, is depicted with blue skin, signifying Krishna, a significant god in Hinduism. He is flanked by two men, possibly poets or scholars, engrossed in a manuscript. An elephant, a symbol of strength and power, is depicted in the jungle outside, hinting at the monsoon season. The artwork is rendered in opaque watercolor with gold and ink on paper, showcasing intricate architectural details and the vibrant colors of the setting. This piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and Southeast Asia, reflecting the concepts of religion, poetry, and the changing seasons. The folio is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its cultural significance and accessibility for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
