Radha is a 1810 paint by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in bright pink standing in a courtyard. She’s holding something to her chest, dressed in flowing clothes with gold trim. Behind her, there are white buildings with domes, arches, and small balconies. The scene looks like a mix of gardens and palaces, with tiny figures walking around in the background. The woman’s face is blurred, but her outfit stands out against the muted colors of the buildings. The edges of the painting are dark, almost like it’s framed in shadow.

The painting *Radha* from 1810 is rendered in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, depicting Radha leaving her home at night to meet Krishna.

Coomaraswamy in 1912.
