António Xavier Trindade’s painting “Forsaken” represents a westernised interpretation of the rejected lover with roots in the Indian and Persian literary traditions. The inspiration for this work comes from the ‘Nayika’ (heroine) anxiously waiting for her lover who never comes. In this poignant portrayal, we see a young girl sitting on the floor with her head hanging low. She has her eyes closed and her feet are tucked under her. She is wearing a blue sari with narrow gold border. The sari is worn with a contrasting light blue choli, with big dots and deep neckline. Her long black hair is tied in a loose bun. She wears traditional gold bangles on her wrist, double chains around her neck and drop earrings. She is seated on the floor by the side of a bed covered with rich gold-coloured bedspread. In the background there is a lamp to symbolise the long wait for her lover. The overall mood is one of melancholy and rejection.
