EDITORS COMMENTS
Two queens, dressed in opulent costumes, share an intimate moment as they embrace and enjoy a drink together. This print titled 'Lovers Embrace in an Alcove' was created by an Indian School artist during the 18th century. The artwork measures 22 x 18.5 cm and is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The image exudes sensuality and captures the essence of love between two women. It challenges societal norms with its portrayal of lesbianism within royalty, showcasing a powerful representation of same-sex relationships from South Asia's history. The alcove provides a private sanctuary for these lovers to express their affection openly, away from prying eyes. Their fashion choices reflect their regal status, adorned with intricate details and gold accents that highlight their royal lineage. As they clasp hands while sharing a beverage, this scene symbolizes unity and companionship amidst a world that may not fully understand or accept them. Their love transcends boundaries imposed by society or culture. This artwork serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds; it can flourish even in times when it must be hidden or kept secret. It celebrates the courage and resilience of individuals who defy societal expectations to live authentically.
