Even when the birds are portrayed with the precision usually reserved for individual animal studiesโsuch as those of elephantsโthey are often shown in pairs. This pairing may symbolize the harmony and balance of nature, a theme deeply resonant in Mughal art.
Birds are frequently depicted in poetic pairs in Mughal paintings, reflecting the keen observation skills of Indian artists. Influenced by the scientific studies from Europe that reached the Mughal court in the 17th century, these artists captured birds with remarkable detail.

A bright comet is moving into the evening skies. C/2023 A3 (TsuchinshanโATLAS) has brightened and even though it is now easily visible to the unaided eye, it is so near to the Sun that it is still difficult to see. Pictured, Comet TsuchinshanโATLAS was captured just before sunrise from an Andes Mountain in Peru. Braving cold weather, this unusually high perch gave the astrophotographer such a low eastern horizon that the comet was obvious in the pre-dawn sky.
Harald Slott-Mรธller was a Danish painter and ceramist. At the beginning of his career he painted genre paintings in a Realist manner. In the 1890s, influenced by Italian Gothic art and the work of the English painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Slott-Mรธller turned from Naturalism to a kind of restrained Symbolism, expressed in poetic landscapes populated by isolated figures of women, like the one we present today.
