Radha and Krishna is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows five figures under a colorful canopy. Two people sit in the center—one blue-skinned, one golden—holding hands. The others stand around them in bright, striped clothes. The background has a simple tree and a rough ground. The blue-skinned figure might be a god from Hindu stories, but we can’t be sure. The bold colors and flat shapes feel more like a quick sketch than a detailed portrait. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
The painting depicts Radha and Krishna on a swing, rendered in watercolour and tin alloy on cardboard, set during the spring festival.
