The Lovelorn Heroine, from a Sat Sai of Bihari, 1780-90. India, Himachal Pradesh, Pahari Kingdom of Garhwal or Guler. Gum tempera and gold on paper; image: 19.3 x 14.2 cm (7 5/8 x 5 9/16 in.); overall: 26.5 x 21.1 cm (10 7/16 x 8 5/16 in.). 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 color of the blossoms, and no bees come to pollinate.
