О картине
Словами музея — на английском
In this scene the artist depicts an incident taken from the first story of Sir Richard Burton's free version of the 'Baitala Pachisi' ('Vikram and the Vampire or Tales of Hindu Devilry', London, 1870, pp.57ff). The story narrates how a young prince is captivated by a strange princess whom he chances upon bathing in a lotus pond in the forest. She communicates her love for him silently by flower language. Abanindranath made a number of illustrations to this text during the formative period of his style. In this scene, the traditional pool-side setting taken from Mughal and Pahari painting has been given a moody Pre-Raphaelite treatment reminiscent of Dante Gabriel Rosseti.

Abanindranath Tagore (1871 - 1951) was the pioneer and leading exponent of the Bengal School of Art which flourished between 1905 and 1920. In his paintings, he sought to counter the influence of Western art as taught in art schools under the British Raj, by modernizing indigenous Moghul and Rajput traditions. His work became so influential that it was eventually accepted and regarded as a national Indian style.
