Augury of the Crow (Vasakasajja Nayika), c. 1800. Creator: Unknown
Augury of the Crow (Vasakasajja Nayika), c. 1800. The heroine in the doorway is waiting for her husband to return, but he is delayed, and ominous monsoon clouds gather in the distance. The pomegranate tree in her garden has ripe fruits replete with seeds and bright red juices, suggestive of her fertility, but a crow is perched there. The sound of a crows voice is an unlucky omen, and this further compounds her anxiety. Depictions of tense, relatable situations were made to elicit empathy in the viewer and emotions that heightened the pleasure of viewing and savoring paintings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Augury of the Crow (Vasakasajja Nayika), c. 1800" transports us to a moment of anticipation and unease. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of human emotions through this artwork. In the image, we see a heroine standing in a doorway, her eyes fixed on the horizon, waiting for her husband's return. However, ominous monsoon clouds loom in the distance, hinting at an impending storm both literal and metaphorical. As if to intensify her anxiety, a crow perches on a pomegranate tree in her garden – its presence symbolizing bad luck according to popular belief. The painting's composition is rich with symbolism; the ripe fruits hanging from the pomegranate tree represent fertility and abundance while reminding us of life's fleeting nature. Yet, it is overshadowed by uncertainty as suggested by both the delayed arrival of her husband and the foreboding weather. This artwork belongs to Himachal Pradesh's heritage art tradition within Northern India's Pahari Kingdom of Kangra. Its vibrant colors painted on paper evoke strong emotions that resonate with viewers even today. Through this depiction of relatable situations like waiting anxiously for loved ones' return or fearing unfavorable signs from nature, artists aimed to elicit empathy and heighten viewers' pleasure when savoring these paintings. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully preserved this piece from history for our appreciation without any commercial intent.
