Radha and Krishna is a 1740 paint by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures standing under a bright green tree with a flat, patterned canopy. The person on the left wears a red dress with gold trim, while the one on the right is dressed in yellow with a crown-like headpiece. They’re holding hands, and the background has a simple sky with a few scattered leaves. The bright colors and bold outlines give the scene a lively feel. The figures look like they’re in a garden or open space, with a small platform under their feet. If you like this style, look up Baroque next.
