Erotic metaphors in visual poetry: bees fly to blossoms as rain clouds approach.
Description
The grape-laden vine intertwined around the tree is a poetic visual metaphor for the lovers in close embrace beneath it. The attendant with a fan looks away as the lady on the man’s lap receives a kiss and raises a cup of wine. The sumptuous carpet and bolster patterns have been wrought with the detail and care for which Mughal artists are renowned.
