41 reviews

A miniature Indian Mughal Art manner mixed media, opaque watercolor, gold, and silver, painting on paper, Krishna and Radha: Loveplay in Moonlight, painted in bold colors and with fine details. Written with an Indian calligraphic, stamped, and probably signed, on the backside. Matted. Circa: Mid 20th century. The artist depicts Radha coyly turning her head. The sandal paste and saffron indicated by a thin yellow wash above her glowing ivory skin. Krishna fumbles around for the absent tie strings. Their loveplay takes place in a palatial setting: a sumptuous white marble pavilion encrusted with pietra dura and precious stones emphatic of luxurious Mughal material culture. The bed is like a throne of silver and gold, overarched by a magnificent brocade baldachin. The viewer beholds a divine couple. Antique Miniature Indian Paintings, Wall Art, Home Decor, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
