A young woman in an orange skirt with a white overskirt and a sheer veil streaked with gold walks barefoot through a forest, a garland of red and mauve flowers strung past her from tree to tree and a red flower in her hand. Peacocks strut at her sides, and one stoops toward a black snake at lower right. Grey monkeys sit in the dark trees, white egrets perch and fly above, and ducks swim in a dark pond edged with pink stepping stones.
The original: gum tempera, ink and gold on paper, about 1780–1800, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Raghogarh school is the painting of Raghogarh, a small Rajput state of the Khichi Chauhan clan in present-day Guna district, Madhya Pradesh, on the borders of Malwa and Rajasthan. Paintings attributed to it date from the later seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth, and they are close enough to Bundi work that some carry both names. They are marked by planar compositions, a deep, rich palette and narrow-headed, wide-eyed heroines, often in simplified versions of Mughal pavilions, and by playful touches of landscape, such as a sun peeping from behind a flat black hill. Subjects include heroines awaiting their lovers, ragamala modes and Krishna as a courtly prince. Examples are held by the Cleveland Museum of Art and the National Museum of Asian Art in Washington.

FAQ
Fine-art quality should be something you can verify. Here is exactly what goes into a 9 Art Prints reproduction.
What makes a 9 Art Prints reproduction different?
A lot of art-print sellers describe their work as “museum quality” without telling you what that actually means. We prefer specifications. Our fine-art reproductions are produced using professional giclée printing on genuine Hahnemühle fine-art papers, selected to suit the artwork. We work from high-resolution source material and prepare each image specifically for print, with close attention to colour, detail and tonal range.
What paper do you use?
Our principal fine-art papers include Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm and Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm. German Etching has a substantial, lightly textured surface that works exceptionally well for paintings and richly coloured works. Photo Rag has a smoother cotton surface suited to graphic, modernist and highly detailed imagery.
Paper is selected according to the character of the artwork rather than using one generic stock for everything.
What does “giclée” actually mean?
Giclée is a professional fine-art printing process using archival pigment inks and high-resolution inkjet technology. Unlike inexpensive poster printing, it is designed to reproduce subtle colour gradations, fine detail and tonal depth.
It is a reproduction method widely used by artists, photographers, galleries and professional fine-art printers.
So is this really “museum quality”?
We would rather tell you what we use and let you decide. Genuine Hahnemühle fine-art paper, professional giclée printing, archival pigment inks and carefully prepared high-resolution artwork are measurable things.
“Museum quality” by itself is not.
Will large prints still look sharp?
Large-format reproduction depends heavily on the quality of the underlying artwork file. We source the highest-resolution material available and prepare each image for print rather than simply enlarging a small internet image.
That is especially important with historic paintings, posters and archival works where source quality varies considerably.
Are these just posters?
No. A poster can be printed cheaply on lightweight commercial paper. Our fine-art editions are intended as permanent pieces of wall art, produced on heavyweight fine-art substrates with professional printing methods.
For graphic or poster artwork, the image may be a historic poster; the object you receive is still a fine-art reproduction.
What about your framed prints?
Our framed pieces use solid-wood frames and are produced as finished pieces of wall art rather than inexpensive poster frames. Depending on the configuration, we also offer matting and premium glazing options.
The goal is the same as with the print itself: use materials appropriate for a piece you intend to keep.
Will the colours look exactly like my screen?
Screens emit light; paper reflects it, so no physical print can be identical to every monitor or phone display. We prepare our artwork specifically for print and aim for accurate colour, contrast and tonal reproduction.
The texture and surface of fine-art paper also give the finished piece a physical depth that cannot be shown completely on a screen.
