Krishna seated on a hill being fed by Yasoda is a 1825 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In this painting, a figure sits on a hill, wearing a pink outfit adorned with gold jewelry. The figure has a horn-like object on their left shoulder and is being fed by a woman kneeling to their right. Another woman is kneeling to the left of the figure, also offering food. The background features a tree with green leaves behind the group. The scene appears to be a tender moment between the figure and the two women, with the figure being cared for and fed. The use of warm colors and gentle expressions adds to the sense of intimacy and nurturing. This painting is reminiscent of the Romanticism movement, which often emphasized emotion and the beauty of nature.
In this 1825 South Indian drawing, Krishna is depicted seated on a hill while his foster-mother, Yasoda, feeds him balls of rice. The work is part of a series of 100 drawings depicting Hindu deities.
