EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from a Ragamala painting, created between 1660 and 1675, showcases the Fourth Wife of Megha Raga, known as Vibhasa Ragini. The scene unfolds in the intimate setting of a bedchamber, where the couple is depicted in a sensual embrace, surrounded by the opulence of Indian architecture and nature. The architectural backdrop of the painting is a pavilion, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate columns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Madhya Pradesh, India. The Fourth Wife, dressed in red, is shown aiming a bow and arrow at a crowing rooster, symbolizing the delay of dawn. The rooster, depicted as a blue bird with a red comb and wattles, is shown crowing, adding to the sensual atmosphere of the scene. The bedchamber is filled with lotus flowers and plants, adding to the natural beauty of the painting. The painting is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, showcasing the intricate details and delicate brushwork that characterizes Ragamala paintings from this period. The use of isometric perspective adds depth and dimension to the painting, making it a visual treat for the viewer. This folio is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia, specifically India, during the 17th century. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details, sensual themes, and cultural significance.
