EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and enigmatic 18th century artwork, titled "Female Ascetics (Yoginis) (image 1 of 2)," showcases two young women in deep meditation on the banks of a serene river in India or Southeast Asia. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with trees and plants flourishing in the foreground and birds, including ducks, gracefully gliding in the water. The women, dressed in simple white clothing, are depicted with bare feet, symbolizing their connection to the earth and their commitment to their spiritual practices. Their heads are shaved, and they are adorned with prayer beads and rosaries, signifying their dedication to Hinduism and the yogic traditions of India. The women are in deep concentration, their eyes closed and their bodies contorted in the classic yoga poses. One woman holds a bird in her hand, symbolizing the attainment of inner peace and the ability to tame one's desires, while the other woman is in the act of feeding a duck, representing the nurturing and caring aspect of the feminine. The artwork is believed to have been created between 1730 and 1740 and is an opaque watercolor on paper. The artist is unknown, but the piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and the deep spiritual practices that have shaped the continent's culture for centuries. This artwork is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and it continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its beauty and depth.
