专家说明

This is folio 31 from this important ragamala series. Although several paintings of this ragamala appear to have been shown as early as 1957 in the United Kingdom and 1958 in the United States of America, no picture from this series is reproduced in Andrew Topsfield, Court Painting at Udaipur, Zurich, 2002. Two were published earlier by Topsfield however, in Paintings from the Rajput Courts, Indar Pasricha Gallery, London, 1986, nos. 10-11.
