Viraja and Krishna is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two figures outdoors under trees. The person on the left wears a blue and yellow outfit with a red head covering, holding the other person’s hand. The person on the right is draped in a purple cloth with gold trim, sitting cross-legged and holding a fan. Both have simple, bold outlines and bright colors. The background is loose and sketchy, with trees and a faint sky. The style looks like it blends quick brushstrokes with flat colors, almost like a storybook illustration. Look up kalighat to see more paintings like this.
A watercolour and tin alloy painting on cardboard depicts Viraja, the sister of Vishnu, alongside Krishna, created in 1890 by an unknown artist.
