About the piece

Created in Northwestern India during the early 18th century, this vibrant Mewar school miniature illustrates a joyous scene from the Sursagar, a collection of poems by the saint-poet Surdas. The painting depicts the festive atmosphere following the birth of the deity Krishna, with figures dancing and playing instruments in a palace courtyard rendered in the bold, saturated colors characteristic of the Rajasthani tradition.
