RADHA AND KRISHNA UNDER A TREE
Possibly Basohli, Pahari Hills, North India, early 19th century

Opaque pigments on paper, the vertical composition depicting Krishna and Radha against a green natural landscape, Radha reaching out and clenching one of the floral branches of a tree bending over Krishna's head, Vishnu's blue-skinned avatar holding an unbloomed lotus flower in his right hand and inviting Radha to get closer with his left hand, the scene set within a dark purple frame with now faded golden floral tendrils and bright red borders, 27cm x 20cm.

Provenance: Italian private collection since the early 2000s.
