Krishna is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a scene with two figures. On the left, a man reclines on his back, dressed in a red and yellow outfit adorned with a crown. He has dark hair and blue skin. To the right, another man sits cross-legged, wearing a red and white garment. The background features a gradient of red and orange hues, with a dark shape at the top left corner. The artist's use of bold colors and simple lines creates a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The contrast between the two figures, one reclining and the other sitting, adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this painting, offering a glimpse into the artistic styles and techniques of the late 19th century.
The artwork depicts the death of Krishna, rendered in watercolour and tin alloy on cardboard by an unknown artist in 1890.
