About the piece

This exquisite 19th-century painting from the Kangra school of the Pahari Hills depicts the 'Toilette of Radha.' The scene captures Radha seated gracefully, gazing into a mirror held by an attendant, while other figures hold up a cloth screen in a serene courtyard. Krishna is seen observing the private moment from a balcony window in the upper right, adding a narrative layer to this delicate and masterfully executed work.
