Krishna

ca. 1813

Chokha

SSEA

Unfinished water-colour drawing of Krishna bringing a herd of cows home in the evening, accompanied by two cowherds. Ladies look down on him from an upper window, and the gods Shiva and Brahma are in attendance on the right. Possibly a sketch for a slightly different painting in the Cowarji Jahangir Collection, Bombay, which is ascribed to Chikha and dated V. S. 1870 (A. D. 1813).
