About the piece
This striking page from a dispersed Bhagavata Purana manuscript, dated to around 1610, illustrates the Brahmin messenger delivering a secret letter from Rukmini to Krishna. The scene is rendered in a distinct regional style characterized by its saturated palette—notably the brilliant blue of Krishna and the deep greens and oranges of the architecture—and its expressive, rhythmic line work.
