This painting shows a blue-skinned man playing a flute while standing on a floating white cow. A woman in a blue dress rides the cow, and another woman in red stands nearby. The background is bright green grass with a blue sky and three white moons. The text at the top and bottom is written in a script that looks like Hindi. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to show depth. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
