About the piece
This intricate 1787 painting illustrates a scene from the Bhagavata Purana, showing Nanda and the cowherds migrating to Vrindavana. Rendered in the refined Kangra style of Indian miniature painting, the work features a rich palette, delicate line work, and a sense of rhythmic movement as the community journeys with their herds and belongings through a soft, rolling landscape.
