About the piece
This vibrant Indian miniature from circa 1700 captures a narrative moment between the blue-skinned deity Krishna and Radha. The composition is divided into multiple planes, showing Krishna tending a herd of cattle in the foreground while figures interact within elegantly rendered palace architecture, all characterized by the fine line work and saturated palette typical of the Pahari or Rajasthani traditions.
