About the piece

Created in late 19th-century Calcutta, this watercolor belongs to the Kalighat school of art. It depicts the Hindu deity Krishna standing beside Radha, who is seated prominently under a ceremonial red parasol. The work is characterized by the bold, sweeping brushstrokes and saturated colors that define this influential school of Indian folk art.
