Radha and Krishna is a 1880 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Kalighat, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures sitting under a dark, leafy tree. The person on the right has a blue face, a gold crown, and a yellow cloth draped over their lap. The person on the left has a yellow dress with black and green patterns, holding a red object. Bright colors stand out against a light background, and the figures look relaxed but focused on each other. The style looks like it comes from the *kalighat* tradition, a type of Indian painting known for bold colors and simple shapes. These works often tell stories from Hindu culture.
