Krishna with Yasoda. is a 1820 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures in bright colors. The person on the left is lying on a decorated cushion, holding a flower and wearing heavy gold jewelry. The person on the right stands nearby, dressed in a long red and yellow sari, pouring something from a pot. Behind them is a tree with birds perched on its branches. The text below hints at a story—one person is tied up, possibly as a joke. The colors are bold and flat, with lots of patterns and gold accents. Look up Romanticism to see how this style used emotion and drama in art.
The drawing depicts Krishna with Yasoda, who holds a vessel while tying him to a mortar with a garland. Two devas in winged chariots are shown resting on the branches of a tree. Part of a series of 100 drawings of Hindu deities created in South India in 1820.
