The three suitors again begin to quarrel among themselves for the hand of the devotees daughter, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Twentieth Night, c. 1560. Mughal India, court of Akbar (reigned 1556-1605). Gum tempera, ink, and gold on paper; overall: 20.3 x 14 cm (8 x 5 1/2 in.); painting only: 7.8 x 10 cm (3 1/16 x 3 15/16 in.). After working together to revive the woman from her death-like illness, the three suitors resume their rivalry. The men brawl in the courtyard while she looks on from her chamber. Horrified by the behavior of her suitors, she renounces worldly matters, joins a temple, and devotes herself to serving god.
