About the painting
The painting shows an episode from the story of Krishna and Rukmini, known as the 'Rukmini-Harana' or 'Abduction of Rukmini'. This scene shows Rukmini in a pavilion, listening to a messenger sent by her lover, the Hindu god Krishna. The messenger, shown with his hand raised to indicate that he is speaking, brings Rukmini the welcome news that Krishna intends to abduct her in order to prevent her marriage to another man. The bright red background accentuates the passionate feelings that Rukmini has for the absent Krishna.
