About the piece
This exquisite 18th-century painting from the Lucknow school illustrates a famous scene from the poetic tradition of Yusuf and Zuleykha. Against a deep, atmospheric night sky, the prophet Yusuf is depicted with a luminous golden halo, standing before the reclining Zuleykha on a palace terrace. The work is characterized by the refined brushwork and rich narrative symbolism of the late Mughal period, featuring celestial angels and delicate architectural details.
