The Triumph of Radha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white artwork, "The Triumph of Radha". A dark mottled background, resembling foliage, takes up the top half of the image, with some white flowers and a white bird visible. In the bottom half, a wall with a triangular roof is on the left side of the image. A woman stands on the left with a bottle in one hand and a tray in the other. In front of her, a man and woman sit on a platform with a decorative border; both wear heavy jewelry, with the man holding a stringed instrument. Two women stand on either side of them, both wearing long dresses and head coverings, with one touching the man's shoulder, her hand around his chin.
