An illustration from a Ragamala Series: Dipak Raga

A prince and his consort tryst on a moonlit terrace while musicians serenade them from below.

Good overall condition. The folio is plain with large silver speckles. Tiny area of loss to pigment on white canopy above seated figures and some small abrasions to blue jama of musician at lower right. This illustration appears to be from the famous Boston Ragamala series. Colors brighter than in catalogue illustration. This lot is exhibited in a temporary frame.

Depictions of Dipak Raga generally feature a couple in the presence of a lamp or a flame from where this Raga derives its name. Here the artist has substituted the radiant moon as a metaphor for light, which floods the terrace and illuminates the caressing couple. 

Compare the similar treatment of the male figure with an illustration of Sarang Ragaputra, also from Bundi but of slightly earlier date, illustrated in Klaus Ebeling, Ragamala Painting, Basel, Paris and New Delhi, 1973, p. 139. For other illustrations of Dipak Raga see ibid., no. 189, p. 241 and no. 202, p. 245.
