Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Heroine Rushing to Her Lover (Abhisarika Nayika ) late 18th centuryDetails The Family of Nainsukh (1780) (agrandir)
Ignoring all the hazards of nature -- night's blackness, pelting rain, streaking lightning above and striking cobras below -- the heroine rushes through the forest to her lover. Glancing over her shoulder she sees not her lost jewelry fallen on the ground, but the gently intertwined trees, strengthening her desire to be similarly entwined in her lover's arms.
