Krishna with Gopis on a Riverbank, 1750-1775. Creator: Unknown
Krishna with Gopis on a Riverbank, 1750-1775. The god Krishna places a water pot on the head of Radha, his beloved. Radha is probably also depicted among the other milkmaids at an earlier moment, crouching, her long dark hair streaming down her back. In the lower left corner, a tiny figure of the god of love and desire, Kama, fires an arrow at Radha and Krishna. Love is an avenue of salvation, because Krishna's and Radha's minds are emptied of everything but love

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print from India, possibly from the region of Hindoostan, depicts a serene moment in the idyllic world of Krishna and the Gopis. Krishna, the blue-skinned deity, is shown placing a water pot on the head of Radha, his beloved. Radha, with her long, dark hair streaming down her back, is likely depicted among the other milkmaids in an earlier moment, crouching and lost in thought. In the lower left corner, the tiny figure of Kama, the god of love and desire, fires an arrow at Radha and Krishna. This scene represents the concept of love as a path to salvation, as Krishna and Radha's minds are emptied of everything but their deep affection for each other. The scene is set against the backdrop of a tranquil riverbank, with lotus flowers and other plants adding to the natural beauty of the image. The figures are dressed in simple, flowing cloth, with intricate henna designs adorning their bodies. This print, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic heritage of India and the enduring appeal of the Krishna and the Gopis legend.
