Unsigned 20th‑century Indian painting in mixed technique titled schildering – Krishna met gopi’s in Vrindavan, dating to 1960–1970 and reflecting Rajput and Pahari traditions, depicting Krishna with blue skin among elaborately dressed figures in a lush garden, framed at 119 x 89 cm.
Description from the seller
This 20th-century Indian painting depicts a colorful scene around Krishna, centrally portrayed with his characteristic blue skin and rich headdress. He is surrounded by elegantly dressed figures, presumably gopis and other companions, who move in a dancing procession through a lush garden. The cows, blooming vegetation and the water with lotus flowers enhance the idyllic nature of the scene.
It aligns with Indian miniature painting, particularly the Rajput and Pahari traditions. The bright colors, flat composition and decorative framing hearken back to older Indian examples in which the life of Krishna was a beloved subject. The work is likely a 20th-century homage to such a historical portrayal.
