Krishna is a 1820 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two small scenes framed in a golden arch. On the left, two women sit inside a room with a red curtain, while outside a garden blooms with white flowers. On the right, a man in blue stands with another person, both dressed in bright colors near an open doorway. The border is decorated with stars and swirls, giving it a dreamy feel. The colors are bold—reds, yellows, and blues stand out against the white walls. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
The painting depicts the dejected figure of Krishna, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper as part of the Rasika Priya series from 1820. Krishna is shown seated alone in a lower chamber of a palace, while Radha engages in conversation with another woman in an upper room.
