Ladies in a pleasure garden, a Rajasthani painting from India

This Rajasthani miniature painting from Bundi, India depicts a scene enacted in a beautiful, well-laid out garden with water channels, fountains and a white platform in the centre. The central figure, obviously an important lady, seated in a chair is waited upon by a group of women attendants who offer her flowers. This seventeenth century Indian painting is a beautiful example of the art of miniature painting that flourished in Rajasthan.
