Yasoda protecting Krishna from the playful approaches of a gazelle is a 1825 paint by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman in bright green and gold holding a small blue boy. Behind them, a brown deer stands still under a tree with dark green leaves. The woman’s clothes have red and yellow stripes, and both figures wear heavy jewelry. The boy looks back at the deer, while the woman holds him close. The deer is calm, almost as if it’s waiting for something. The scene feels peaceful, with warm colors and simple shapes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
