A prince and lady meeting, illustrating the musical mode Raga Madhava

Gouache on paper.

In this page from the same ragamala as the previous work [LI118.84], the musical mode Madhava is visualised as a prince seated within a palace chamber who greets a lady standing at its threshold. She extends her hands in a complaisant gesture and soon she will no doubt enter the chamber.
