A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts the blue-skinned god Krishna kneeling before Radha against a plain tan background. On our left, Krishna wears a yellow lower garment and peacock feather crown while touching Radha's foot. On our right, Radha sits on a green chair with a light skin tone, wearing a purple dress and dark blue veil. Silver-toned ornaments and large, stylized eyes define both figures in this devotional scene.
