Légende
A prince celebrating Holi with palace women on a terrace at night; verso: calligraphy of a quatrain, c. 1760. Images of pleasure and play abound in Mughal paintings of the latter half of the 1700s. Under a full moon reflected off a river and by the light of candles, a prince celebrates the spring festival of Holi with a group of palace women. Holi festivities include the boisterous tradition of smearing one another with coloured powders?shown heaped on dishes?or shooting coloured liquid using plunger guns.
