A vertically oriented tempera painting depicts the blue-skinned god Krishna and Radha, a woman with a light skin tone, standing together on a raised green platform. On our left, Krishna wears a yellow garment and a red-striped shawl while holding a flute toward his face. On our right, Radha wears a dark blue skirt and a red veil. Adorned in silver jewelry, both figures gaze toward our right.
