This painting shows a woman with dark hair in a red dress, sitting on a couch. She holds a small mirror. A man stands behind her, looking at her reflection. This scene comes from Indian poetry. It captures a moment when a woman realizes her lover is unfaithful. The artist used bright colors and soft lines to tell the story. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more art like this.
