About the piece
Dating to 1764, this exquisite South Asian miniature painting captures the meeting of Yusuf and Zulaykha under a moonlit, starry sky. The work is characterized by the fine brushwork and rich, saturated pigments typical of the period, with the central figures elegantly framed by a delicate floral border. The serene river landscape in the background adds a sense of depth and tranquility to this poignant narrative scene.
