Radha and Krishna is a 1790 paint by Unknown, a Mughal Painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bright, flat scene split into two parts. On the left, three figures stand on a red balcony with a blue roof. The man in the middle wears a golden crown and a white outfit, holding something in his hand. The two women next to him are dressed in red and blue patterned fabrics. On the right, two men in colorful, loose clothing stand outside, one holding a fan. The bright colors and bold lines make the scene feel lively and stylized. The figures look like they’re part of a story, with clear roles and gestures. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
The artwork is an opaque watercolor on paper painting from 1790, illustrating Radha and Krishna seated together in an embrace, with a confidante present in the same room. In the courtyard outside, to the right, two cowherds stand. This piece is part of a Rasa Panchadhyayi series and is identified as number 39 within the same illustrated manuscript of the Gita Gobinda as IS.58-1952.
