Tanjore painting of Radha Krishna with gold accents

A highly intricate and decorative depiction of Radha and Krishna, distinguished by an extremely detailed and textured finish, possibly simulating embroidery, gold leaf, or Kundal work.

The figures are set against a dramatic black background, which makes the gold, blue, and teal colors of their garments stand out sharply.

Krishna, holding his flute, is looking tenderly at Radha. His clothing appears three-dimensional due to the heavy texture and detailing.

Radha is richly adorned and stands close to Krishna. The detailing on her ghagra (skirt) is particularly elaborate, suggesting the style of Orissa's Pattachitra or a highly ornamental school of miniature painting.

The composition is framed by an arch and features two small birds in the upper corners and a peacock near Krishna's feet, enhancing the traditional devotional theme.
