EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Tandan Ragamala, specifically featuring the Ragaputra Chandrakaya of Malkosa. Created by an Indian School in the 18th century, this exquisite artwork measures 20 x 18.7 cm and is part of a private collection. The scene depicted on this folio transports us to Basohli, located in the Pahari region of North India. In it, we see a couple seated on a luxurious dark blue carpet engrossed in playing pachisi, an ancient Indian board game. The woman playfully extends her left foot into the margin while both individuals are adorned with sumptuous robes and beaded jewelry embellished with beetle wings. Set against a serene pale green background surrounded by vibrant red borders, this miniature painting exudes elegance and charm. Inscriptions in takri and devanagari script can be found above the composition for identification purposes. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into pastimes enjoyed by people during that era in India. It beautifully captures moments of leisure and entertainment as well as showcasing intricate details characteristic of traditional Indian miniatures. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and artistic prowess prevalent during that time period. Its delicate brushwork combined with opulent pigments, gold accents, silver highlights, and even beetle wing adornments make it truly awe-inspiring. Photo credit: eChristies Images; Bridgeman Images
