Royal Lovers in a Landscape Setting

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a framed artwork titled "Royal Lovers in a Landscape Setting" by an unknown artist. The frame is rectangular with a thick, ornate border featuring a dark outer edge with light-colored designs and a thinner, lighter inner edge. Inside the frame, a man and woman are standing in a landscape setting. The woman is on the left, wearing a long dress with a pattern, a head covering that drapes down her back, and a bindi on her forehead. Her hands are outstretched in front of her. The man is on the right, wearing a long tunic with a pattern, a sash, a necklace, and a turban-like headpiece with a feather. He is gesturing with his right hand. In the background, there is a tree on the left and two birds flying in the sky. The overall style of the image appears to be traditional Indian art.
