Krishna

About this work

This painting shows three figures in a garden under a big tree. The person in the center, wearing yellow and holding a flute, stands barefoot on the grass. To the left and right, two women in long dresses stand near him, one holding a fan and the other a cloth. The background is bright with green leaves and a fence, while the border is a bold red. The central figure has a golden crown and a blue chest, which might hint at a story from Hindu tradition. The colors are bright and flat, with no deep shadows.
