EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a Goddess series, specifically featuring Saraswati, created between 1680 and 1700. The artwork is attributed to the talented artist Wajid, who was active during the late 17th century. Measuring approximately 15.9x24.4 cm, this masterpiece is composed using opaque watercolor and gold on paper. The image depicts Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning. She is portrayed in all her divine glory with intricate details that highlight her ethereal beauty. The use of vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes adds depth and richness to the painting. Currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States as part of their esteemed collection, this artwork was acquired through a purchase and partial gift from the Catherine and Ralph Benkaim Collection. Generously funded by Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries. This piece not only exemplifies Wajid's exceptional skill but also serves as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its enchanting aura while paying homage to one of Hinduism's revered deities - Saraswati.
