Small tear to corner of image, slight spotting to outer framing; one corner of outer framing/sheet missing. Image: 21.4 x 12.6 cm; sheet: 45.5 x 29.5 cm. (BA)

Cf. two stylistically very similar pictures from a Ragamala series in John Seyller, Eva and Konrad Seitz Collection of Indian Miniatures, Mughal and Deccani Paintings, Museum Rietberg Zurich 2010, pp. 96-99, nos 30 and 31.
Ragamala illustrations are amongst the most popular forms of Indian painting. They generally comprise 36 or 42 Raga and Ragini images, and convey moods expressive of the states of mind believed to be felt by people at particular times of day or year (see Joachim Bautze, Lotosmund and Löwenritt, indische Miniaturmalerei, Linden Museum Stuttgart 1991, pp. 27-29.
