Mughal School Miniature Painting of Radha-Krishna

This 19th-century Indian miniature painting is composed in the Mughal style and depicts a meeting of the Hindu god Krishna and his shakti Radha, also known as the Supreme Goddess. Together known as Radha-Krishna, the two lovers embody the masculine and feminine essences of the universe and symbolize pure love and devotion.

The divine pair is shown seated together on a bed of leaves, before a spread of golden dish wares laden with fresh fruit and drink. Radha offers fruit to Krishna, her arms outstretched, a symbol of the earth's abundance and a gesture of her devotion. The figures are painted with incredible detail, both dressed in silken robes and adorned with fine jewelry, Krishna wearing an ornate gold crown with a plume of peacock feathers. The scene is enclosed by lavish borders of floral scrollwork in the style of Persian painting, brushed with rich pigments of blue, gold, green and red.
