Banavari 2
Indian, 1550–1590
Banavari 2 was an Indian Patna School of Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This Mughal-era artist painted court scenes so lively you almost hear the parrots squawk and the silk rustle. In *The Parrot Addresses Khujasta at the Beginning of the Eleventh Night*, a parrot leans in like a gossip while a woman listens, her fingers tracing the edge of a book—every fold and feather feels real. If you like tales wrapped in vivid detail, hunt down this miniature in the Met’s collection; it’s a tiny world where stories breathe.
