Krishna adorning the hair of a holy man is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a mughal_painting work, depicting krishna, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a holy man sitting still as another figure twists flowers into his long hair. The flowers glow softly against dark skin and cloth, with fine gold lines along the robes. The artist mixes Rajasthani and Mughal styles. You can see both in the bright colors and the way light falls on the figures. The tiny details in the flowers and leaves show steady, careful hands. Look for similar colors and details at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
