A vertically oriented ink and gum tempera drawing depicts three people with medium-light skin tones in an architectural setting. At center, Krishna kneels to touch the feet of a reclining woman, Radha. To our left, another woman stands with raised hands. A crescent moon hovers above, and four rows of Devnagari script span the top of the composition, while vessels and decorative artwork populate the busy background.
