Descripción de objeto de Cleveland Museum of Art

One day the king’s son caught sight of a woman washing her hair and fell in love with her. She was actually a Brahmin, a Hindu priest, who had a magic pearl of transformation that allowed him to live in the women’s quarters with his lover, the princess. The princess gestures in alarm, as she realizes her brother has fallen for her lover. Another popular subject that we see in the Tuti-Nama and in later painting is women bathing in a pool. Women bathing also appear in Krishna sporting with the gopis, from the early Bhagavata Purana, CMA 1971.171. Note how the Mughal handling of water with gentle swirls differs from the concentric circles in Krishna sporting with the gopis.
