About the piece
Created in 1762, this intricate Indian miniature captures the 'Cosmic Form' (Vishvarupa) of Krishna as described in the Bhagavad Gita. The deity is depicted with numerous heads and arms, symbolizing his omnipresence and the totality of the universe. Rendered in a striking palette of deep blue, earthy brown, and vibrant pink, the work showcases the meticulous detail and spiritual depth characteristic of Indian courtly painting.
