A European Woman Pouring Wine into a Cup
c. 1710-20
The Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, United States
A woman looks sharply, almost surreptitiously, to one side as she pours wine from a red glass bottle. She has long and curly tresses and a green beret inspired by European styles, though she wears Indian jewelry. Images loosely based on prints that made their way to India from Europe were in vogue in Rajasthan during the 18th century.
