EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from a Ragamala (Garland of Melodies) painting dates back to the 1750s and originates from Andhra Pradesh, India. The painting depicts Sorathi Ragini, the wife of Megha Mallar Raga, standing gracefully in a full-length portrait. She is adorned in vibrant apparel, with a rich green sari draped around her body and a golden border adorning the hem. The intricate details of her clothing and the delicate patterns on the fabric are brought to life through opaque watercolor and gold on paper. Surrounding Sorathi Ragini are various elements of nature, including a hare, a peacock, and a tree laden with orange-colored fruits. These elements are symbolic of the Ragini's connection to music and the natural world. In her hands, she holds a stringed instrument, believed to be a veena or vina, which is a common musical instrument used in Indian classical music. The painting's rich colors and intricate details showcase the artistic heritage of Hindustan, specifically from the Hyderabad region of India. The Ragamala paintings were a popular art form during the 18th century, and this particular folio is a testament to the skill and creativity of the unknown artist. The painting is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and serves as a reminder of the beauty and cultural significance of South East Asian art from the past.
