A painting of an amorous couple
Nepal, 15th century
Actively embracing on a cushion beside a bolster embellished with galloping horses, he standing and lifting her towards him, she with her arms flung about his neck, each wearing red and gold ornaments, with elongated eyes, gently sloping brows, and neatly combed hair, flanked by multicolored shapes suggesting curtains
