Is this a Duchamp? They are definitely ready mades. These gorgeous paintings are from Bundi Palace. This is an amazing place and there are endless 'ready mades' to take photos of. These are from the government owned part, which is free to enter but the guard will expect a tip if he shows you around. Well worth it! I gave him 20 ruppees.
The picture above shows court life. The Rani (Queen) is being pampered by a fan and two musicians.
These wonderful colours comes from natural sources, most from vegetables, I believe. Though I'm not sure. I love the 2Dness of the pictures and the life they depict.
