A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts Krishna, a blue-skinned god with a gold crown, and Radha, a light-skinned woman, standing center under a green leaf-patterned umbrella. Against a dark sky with golden lightning bolts, two white cows leap toward them from the sides. In the foreground, a small white dog runs across green grass above a dark pond where pink lotus blossoms float.
