"Sakuntala" is a celebrated painting by Raja Ravi Varma, a prominent 19th-century Indian painter known for his depictions of scenes from Indian literature and mythology. The painting portrays the moment from the ancient Sanskrit play "Abhijnanashakuntalam" by the classical poet Kalidasa, where the protagonist, Shakuntala, looks back to glance at her love, King Dushyanta, as she walks towards the hermitage after an emotional farewell.

Raja Ravi Varma's artistic style is characterized by a fusion of European techniques with a distinctly Indian sensibility, which helped to define the visual language of Indian painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In "Sakuntala," Varma captures the heroine in a naturalistic setting, her figure rendered with a grace and realism that was influenced by his study of European oil painting. The work is notable for its intricate detailing, the use of vibrant colors, and the emotional depth conveyed through Sakuntala's expressive gaze and body language.

The painting is not only a testament to Raja Ravi Varma's skill as an artist but also reflects the cultural renaissance in India during the British Raj, where Indian artists were engaging with classical literature and using their art to express national identity. "Sakuntala" has been widely reproduced and has become an iconic image in Indian art, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage and the aesthetic achievements of the period.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of Raja Ravi Varma, "Sakuntala" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and cultural significance, and it remains an important piece in the history of Indian art. The painting is often highlighted in discussions of Raja Ravi Varma's impact on the development of modern Indian art and his role in bringing Indian mythology and epics to a wider audience through a visual medium.
