Shakuntala or Shakuntala looking for Dushyanta is an 1898 epic painting by Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma.

Ravi Varma depicts Shakuntala, an important character of Mahabharata, as pretending to remove a thorn from her foot, while actually looking back to catch a glimpse of her husband/lover, Dushyantha, while her friends tease her and call her bluff.
