This
piece, Radha and Krishna in a Pavillion
(1760?), from India’s Punjab Hills,
is an illustration of a traditional
story of Krishna, a Hindu god, and his
lover, Radha. Krishna, the eighth incarnation
of the supreme Hindu god Vishnu, serves
as one of the central deities in Hinduism.
It is an example of the style of Indian
miniature painting that was popular
from the 16th to the 19th century.
