The Lovelorn Heroine, from a Sat Sai of Bihari, 1780-90. The Sat Sai is a collection of poems mainly describing the beauty of women in a range of emotional states. The heroine of this poem sits against a tree that is in full flower, like her, but her lover is absent, and other girls walk by, gossiping. Not coincidentally, her dress matches the colour of the blossoms, and no bees come to pollinate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Lovelorn Heroine" from a Sat Sai of Bihari, dating back to the late 18th century. The Sat Sai is a collection of poems that beautifully describes women in various emotional states. In this particular scene, we see the lovelorn heroine seated against a blossoming tree, mirroring her own vibrant beauty. However, her lover is absent and she finds herself surrounded by other girls engaged in gossip. The exquisite gum tempera and gold on paper technique used to create this painting adds depth and richness to the artwork. Originating from the Pahari Kingdom of Garhwal or Guler in Himachal Pradesh, India, it holds immense cultural significance. Notably, the heroine's dress perfectly matches the color of the blooming flowers surrounding her; yet no bees come to pollinate them. This subtle detail symbolizes her longing for love and companionship that remains unfulfilled. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this unknown masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and poignant narrative. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has skillfully captured this timeless piece through their photography expertise, allowing us to appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
