Mughal School Indian Miniature Painting of Radha-Krishna
About the Item
This 19th-century Indian miniature painting is composed in the Mughal style and depicts a meeting of the Hindu god Krishna and his shakti Radha, also known as the Supreme Goddess. Together known as Radha-Krishna, the two lovers embody the masculine and feminine essences of the universe and symbolize pure love and devotion.
The divine pair is shown seated together on a bed of leaves, before a spread of golden dish wares laden with fresh fruit and drink. Radha offers fruit to Krishna, her arms outstretched, a symbol of the earth's abundance and a gesture of her devotion. The figures are painted with incredible detail, both dressed in silken robes and adorned with fine jewelry, Krishna wearing an ornate gold crown with a plume of peacock feathers. The scene is enclosed by lavish borders of floral scrollwork in the style of Persian painting, brushed with rich pigments of blue, gold, green and red.

Chinese Reverse Glass Painting of Taoist Immortals, c. 1900
Located in Chicago, IL
Popularized during the Qing dynasty, reverse glass painting requires an artist to essentially work backwards, starting with details and shading before adding color and form. Lending the finished work a subtle three-dimensional effect, this exacting technique doesn't allow for any corrections, and is only revealed to its full effect when the glass pane is turned around. This example dates to the late 19th century and depicts the Taoist immortals He Xiangu and Cao Guojiu. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, the Eight Immortals each represent a different condition in life and impart blessings of prosperity and longevity. The charming scene is likely one of a set of...
