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. Additional Dimensions: Visible Art: 6.25"W x 8.25"H Minor wrinkling to paper.
