About the piece

Attributed to the artist Sitaram around 1755, this South Asian miniature captures a graceful exchange between the divine and the courtly. Krishna, mounted on a decorative white horse, approaches the striking red-walled balcony of a grand palace to receive a flower garland. The work exemplifies the Mughal-influenced style of the period, featuring meticulous architectural details and a rich, saturated palette.
