This painting shows a scene from the story of Lord Krishna. The painting was made for a royal book, a translation of a Hindu epic. It was part of a big project to translate important Hindu stories into Persian, the language used by the royal court. This style is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the technique: chiaroscuro.
