About the piece

This exquisite Pahari-style miniature from 1770 captures a serene moment as Krishna and his consort observe a musical performance from a palace balcony. The scene is rich with detail, from the expressive musicians in the foreground to the soft gradients of the evening sky punctuated by a crescent moon and distant hills.
