EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts the Hindu god Krishna in a joyful moment of dance with his beloved gopis. Krishna, the central figure, is shown levitating between two groups of admiring women. The gopis on the right form an orchestra, each playing musical instruments such as the flute, drum, and cymbals. The gopis on the left serve as an appreciative audience, clapping and offering garlands of flowers. Krishna is dressed in rich blue apparel, adorned with a garland of flowers around his neck, and his palms are raised in a graceful dance pose. The scene is set in a lush garden, filled with palm trees and blooming flowers, adding to the serene and enchanting atmosphere. This beautiful work of art, which originated in either Hindustan or America during the 18th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Hinduism and the enduring appeal of Krishna's divine dance. The print, which is now part of the Walters Art Museum collection in the United States, is a rare and valuable example of the artistic traditions of the time and continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and charm.
