Krishna and Balarama is a 1850 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two blue-skinned men standing under a tree with a wide, dark canopy. The man on the left holds a curved stick, while the one on the right plays a flute. Both wear bright yellow and blue clothing with gold trim, and their faces have bold outlines and simple expressions. The tree’s leaves are dark and textured, and the ground beneath them looks like red rock. The labels at the bottom name them "Krishna with his flute" and "Balarama with his drum." Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A watercolor painting on paper with tin-alloy highlights depicts the figures of Krishna and Balarama, executed around 1850. The work was purchased from G. Wild by the Department of Prints and Drawings in 1889 and is catalogued as RP 51/2237.
