EDITORS COMMENTS
Pleasure at the Lover's Arrival" is a captivating folio from the Satsai (Seven Hundred Verses) of Matiram, a classic Hindi love poem from 17th century India. The scene depicted in this 18th century artwork portrays the moment of pure joy and anticipation as a young woman and man greet each other in the courtyard of a beautiful South East Asian residence. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, with the crescent moon and stars beginning to appear in the night sky, signaling the approach of evening and the arrival of the lover. The woman, elegantly dressed in a vibrant sari, stands with her hands in prayer position, her eyes filled with happiness and longing. The man, wearing traditional clothing, approaches her with a radiant smile, his arms outstretched in a gesture of love and welcome. Two other figures, possibly friends or servants, look on from the background, their expressions reflecting the joy and excitement of the moment. The artwork is an opaque watercolor, richly decorated with gold and silver accents, creating a stunning visual effect. The intricate details of the clothing, the lotus pond in the foreground, and the astral bodies in the sky demonstrate the advanced scientific knowledge and artistic skill of the time. The artwork is a testament to the enduring power of love and the beauty of South East Asian art and culture. This folio is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic and cultural heritage. The artwork is a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of India and the importance of preserving and celebrating them for future generations. Overall, "Pleasure at the Lover's Arrival" is a breathtaking work of art that transports us to another time and place, inviting us to appreciate the timeless beauty of love and the artistic mastery of the past.
