Radha and Krishna's Reconciliation

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of two people, a man and a woman, sitting on the floor in an interior setting. The man is on one knee with his back to the viewer; he appears to be touching or embracing the woman. The woman sits facing him, leaning back on her left arm which rests on a low platform; her right arm appears to be extended. She wears a veil over her head and a sari. The man wears a dhoti. A third figure stands behind the man. The scene is enclosed in a rectangular border, with a ledge-like structure and a niche visible behind them. A crescent moon is visible in the sky outside. The background of the image features a yellowed, aged paper texture with darker spots and lines. There is writing in a foreign language at the top. The artwork represents "Radha and Krishna's Reconciliation" by an unknown artist.
