Painting depicting a couple Mogul
India, late 19th century
Tempera and gold on paper, probably part of a Ragamala, a popular subject in Rajput India, depicting Indian musical modes and adopted in the Mughal ateliers since the 17th century.The painting depicts a couple sitting on a floral carpet on a terrace with white marble architecture inlaid with semiprecious stones with floral decorations. Through the door on the left of the composition, a handmaiden enters with a tray of refreshments in her hand. The two gushing fountains at the bottom indicate the setting in a Mogul chaharbagh (quadripartite garden).
