About the piece

Attributed to the Guler school of Northern India, this exquisite 1752 miniature captures the 'Utka Nayika'—a heroine waiting anxiously for her lover. Set against a dramatic, moody night sky with rolling clouds, the delicate brushwork and vibrant colors of the figure's attire create a striking focal point in the landscape.
