Sakuntala with her friends - Raja Ravi Varma Painting

The three young women are positioned in a close-knit group, likely near the hermitage of Sage Kanva where Sakuntala grew up. Sakuntala, often shown carrying a water pot (though sometimes her friends do), appears engaged in conversation or contemplation with her friends

Raja Ravi Varma was renowned for his unique blend of European academic realism and traditional Indian subjects. The figures are draped in classical Indian attire, and their expressions and gestures are rendered with naturalism

The print is presented in a rich, warm gold/bronze frame with a simple mount, enhancing the classical feel of the artwork and making it a refined piece for any home or gallery.
