Love Linger
Description
The painting depicts Shakuntala surrounded by her companions and deers in the woods while the King Dushyanta with a bow, who has come for hunting, is stealthily gazing at her from behind the bushes. The captivating colour scheme and the delineation of the figures are reminiscent of Indian miniatures. This painting was exhibited in the Gladstone Solomon Scholarship Exhibition held at Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai.
