A slightly different motive, the contrast between bright sunshine and shade, is treated with masterly skill in a picture, 5 inches by 2½ inches, painted by Rāo Gobind Singh, apparently in the seventeenth century. The subject is a lady seated on a balcony watching golden sunlight illuminating the water below (Plate CXXVII). Such chiaroscuro effects probably are the result of the study of European art.
