Court lady singing and playing the vina (recto)

Muhammad Rizavi Hindi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman faces left wearing a purple sari with gold accents and a gold-trimmed headscarf. She wears multiple pearl necklaces and earrings and a white headpiece. On her chest is a large pendant on a necklace and a smaller one on another. A green and gold vina is tucked behind her headscarf. A thin blue band wraps around her right upper arm. She holds a small blue vina plectrum in her right hand near her mouth. Her left hand holds the vina against her stomach. The woman stands within a gold-rimmed circle on a white square on a gray background. A thick black border surrounds the white square. An orange border with thin black and red borders surrounds the black border. The artwork sits on a beige background.
