About the piece
Dating to 1717, this page from a dispersed Bhagavata Purana depicts the Hindu deity Krishna and his companions engaged in a game of blindman's bluff. The work showcases the characteristic vibrancy of Indian manuscript illustration, with detailed rolling hills, flowering trees, and grazing cows set against a rich blue sky. It is a masterful example of narrative storytelling through traditional South Asian art.
