A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts Krishna, a god with dark skin and a white turban, and Radha, a woman with light skin wearing a red sari, seated beneath a red and orange canopy. Facing each other, they are flanked by two attendants holding white fly-whisks. All figures feature large, prominent eyes and ornate jewelry against a dark background. Devanagari script appears at the top, and the scene rests upon a red ground.
