RAJPUT COURT SCENE WITH KRISHNA AND RADHA INDIAN PAINTING RAJASTAN 18TH CENTURY FRAMED Dimensions: Height 22 x 15 cm Weight: 646 grams An eighteenth-century Rajasthani Rajput court painting depicting Krishna and Radha in an intimate architectural setting. The divine lovers are surrounded by elegant columns, textiles and furnishings, rendered in opaque colours with touches of gold that lend the miniature a jewel-like luminosity. Rich reds, deep greens and finely drawn ornament enliven the scene, while the carefully balanced composition emphasises the relationship between the figures. Krishna and Radha are among the most celebrated subjects of Indian devotional painting, expressing divine love through the visual language of courtly romance. The small framed work reflects the exquisite decorative refinement of Rajput miniature painting and rewards close attention to its costume, colour and architectural detail.
