I'm not sure specifically where it is from, it seems to be from 18th Century Rajasthan - Here is a fuller picture which contains Crown, Brow and Throat Chakras -> bit.ly/2HPoycw — DirghaChintayanti, Mar 23, 2019 at 11:01

From a reverse image search, I found out this image is the front cover of the book Tantra : The Indian Cult Of Ecstasy Philip Rawson

The full image is below

This image is found in page 86 of the same book. The image description in the book is given as:

47 The Subtle body with its chakras (detail). Nepal. 17^th century. gouache on paper. complete diagram 140 X 11 in.

So, the answer is it is a gouache painting from Nepal dated 17^th century explaining chakras in our body in detail.
