About the Item

Indian miniature showing Krishna, cows and the gopis (girls) Watercolour on paper, c mid 20th century Size Mounted: 33 x 22 cm Image Size: 24.2 x 13.4 cm Signed bottom right with a letter that shows respect to the subject matter This playful miniature painting shows Krishna with the girls (gopis) hiding behind a curtain whilst the cows follow the sound of his flute. Exquisitely painted, the line and colour palette are sophisticated and show the work of an artist of merit. The format and feel is that of the golden age of illustration and the format would suggest this may have been painted for a book. The elongated figures and delicate long-limbed figures have a Northern India feel and are reminiscent of the Lucknow and Murshidabad regions of painting. The work is difficult to date and could sit anywhere between 1950 and 1990
