About the piece
Hailing from the Mankot school in Northern India, this 18th-century miniature illustrates the festivities surrounding the birth of Krishna as told in the Bhagavata Purana. The composition is divided into two registers: musicians playing a large horn and drums against a saturated yellow ground above, and a seated noble figure engaging with attendants below, all rendered with the precise lines and vibrant palette typical of the region's courtly art.
