Antonio Xavier Trindade’s Forsaken represents a westernized 20th century interpretation of the rejected lover. The inspiration for this work seems to come from Nayika, a character popularized by the 16th and 17th century Hindu poets representing a category of women in love.

 

The sitter wears a blue sari with narrow gold border, a colour believed to be associated with disappointment. In the background there is a lamp with fading flame that symbolizes the long wait for her lover. The lamp is also a metaphor for her burning heart while her long dark tresses represent the long black night of separation.

 

The emotional impact and cultural relevance of Trindade’s pining lover attract as much attention today as they did in the1920s.
