EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from the Bhagavata Purana, an 18th-century Hindu scripture, showcases Krishna and the cowherds enjoying a picnic on a hillside. The scene is set in the lush, green landscape of India or Southeast Asia, with rolling hills, trees, and a crystal-clear body of water in the background. Krishna, the central figure, is depicted as a young, handsome man, clad in a yellow dhoti and wearing a crown. He sits casually on a large, flat stone, surrounded by his cowherd friends, who are engaged in various activities such as playing musical instruments, feeding the cows, and socializing. The cows, with their large, expressive eyes, graze peacefully nearby. The scene is rendered in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, with intricate details that bring the idyllic setting to life. This artwork, which dates between 1760 and 1765, is believed to have originated from the Basohli school of painting in Punjab or Himachal Pradesh, India. The Bhagavata Purana, which chronicles the life and teachings of Krishna, is a revered text in Vaishnavism, a major branch of Hinduism. This folio not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia.
