About the piece
Originating from early 18th-century Rajasthan, this painting is a masterful example of the Mewar school’s narrative tradition. It illustrates episodes from Surdas’s Sursagar, focusing on Krishna’s heroic exploits—such as the slaying of the elephant demon Kuvalayapida—alongside more intimate domestic scenes. The composition is characterized by its brilliant primary colors, stylized architecture, and the simultaneous depiction of multiple events across a unified, lush landscape.
