Krishna asks for sweets, from a Sursagar of Surdas (Indian, c. 1480–1580)
The painting depicts a colorful scene with multiple sections. In the top left, a dark-haired man in a yellow garment bends over a seated figure on a platform. In the top right, a blue-skinned man sits on a platform under a white dome. Below, a pond with pink flowers separates various groups: - a man in a yellow garment rides an elephant - people are near a white cow and brown animals - several people are gathered near structures with columns. A border of red surrounds the painting, with black text on a yellow background at the top. The scene includes trees, buildings, and a blue sky.
