Radha is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two women standing outdoors in a garden. One wears a pale pink dress with a yellow underskirt, and the other has a bright orange robe with dark trim. They face each other, their hands raised slightly as if in conversation. Behind them, tall trees line a grassy area, and the sky above is dark with swirling clouds and a hint of lightning. The women’s clothing looks traditional, and the scene feels peaceful despite the stormy sky. The bright colors stand out against the green grass and dark background, making the figures pop. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
The painting depicts Radha standing with Krishna's messenger by a river, both figures facing each other, with trees visible in the background; it is rendered in opaque watercolour on paper and dates to 1780.
