Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene from Hindu mythology, specifically Radha and Krishna caught in a storm. The image features a group of six people in a field with a building and mountains in the background. The man on the right wears a yellow dhoti and a crown, embracing a woman wearing a red dress and a gold crown. The woman on the left wears a blue top and a brown and red skirt, while another woman wears a white headscarf and a yellow and brown dress. A man sits on the left, wearing a purple dhoti and a black shawl. The sky above is dark and cloudy with rain falling. The scene appears to be set in a rural or village setting with trees and buildings. The color palette is muted with earthy tones.
