Bala Krishna is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a blue-skinned figure sitting on a green cloth-covered platform with yellow legs. The figure has a crown with a red umbrella, a peacock feather, and a golden pot hanging nearby. His dark blue outfit has gold accents, and he’s wearing jewelry like armbands and necklaces. The text at the bottom says *"Krishna in his childhood."* The bright colors and simple shapes make it look lively and playful. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolor painting on paper with tin-alloy highlights depicts the child-god Bala Krishna in a Kalighat style, shown crouched playfully against a pink bolster atop a green throne. The blue-skinned figure wears a peacock-feather crown and raises his right arm, while a green fringed textile frames the upper half against a pale green background.
