LOVE LOST- ANGUISHED HEART

This painting depicts the beautiful nymph- Sakunthala, as she eagerly  waits for her lover the King Dushyant. The essence of Poet Kalidasa's most famous drama is captured in this woodland scene with the innocent heroine searching the horizon with hopeful eyes, eager for even a glimpse of the prince of her heart. The passion and power of her feelings make her forgetful of her sylvan surroundings as her doelike gaze appears to beseech Mother Nature herself to restore her King to her. The backdrop of the bountiful forest at dawn, the exquisitely graceful fawn, and the pristine snowhite of her saree still wet from her bath accentuate Sakunthala's purity of mind and the intensity of her love.  The canvas captures the inner torment raging within Sakunthala  in her  shy gaze as eagerness to behold her lover wars with her innate modesty.
