About the piece
Created in the Kangra school around 1800, this painting portrays the 'Virhini Nayika' or the heroine suffering the pangs of separation. She is depicted with refined grace, seated by a tranquil lotus pond under the canopy of a flowering tree, embodying the poetic sensitivity and delicate brushwork characteristic of Pahari art.
