Radha and Krishna

ca. 1730-1735

Painting, opaque watercolour and gold on paper, with beetle-wing details, Gita Govinda illustration, Krishna approached by Radha and companion. Radha wears a dark red and blue skirt with brown bodice and is attended by a companion in a mauve and white skirt and orange bodice. They approach a dark green hillock surrounded by dark trees. Krishna sits within the grove in a dark yellow dhoti and holding a tiny flute in his hand. Krishna waits in the forest of Brindaban, and the River Jumna is at the bottom of the scene. Pale yellow background and triangular trees.
