EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print from Gujarat, India, depicts the tender moment of Yashoda, the foster mother of Lord Krishna, as she lovingly sucks him at her breast. The scene unfolds in a serene setting, with two attendant women looking on, their expressions filled with awe and reverence. The opaque watercolor and silver on paper technique used to create this artwork adds a richness and depth to the image, with intricate details in the clothing and ornaments of the figures. The three women are dressed in traditional South East Asian attire, with Yashoda wearing a vibrant red sari and the attendants in yellow and blue. Krishna, the mischievous god, is depicted as a playful infant, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he feeds. The use of color in this artwork is striking, with the reds, yellows, and blues creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This artwork is a beautiful representation of the Hindu deity Krishna during his infancy, and the importance of family and childcare in Hinduism. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and Southeast Asia, and a reminder of the timeless bond between a mother and her child.
