Krishna Steals the Gopis’ Clothing: Page from a Dispersed Bhagavata Purana Manuscript
A yellowed, aged manuscript page with black and red text written in a non-Latin script. The text is divided into sections by thin red lines. A colorful illustration on the right side depicts a scene with people. In the scene, a dark-skinned man sits on the bank of a body of water with several people. The people are wearing various colored clothing, including pink, blue, green, orange, and purple. Some are standing; others are sitting or wading in the water. A group of people on the left side of the scene near a tree are holding various colored garments. A building with a white façade and a brown roof is visible above and behind the group on the left. Trees and foliage surround the building. The background of the manuscript page shows signs of aging, with darker spots and discoloration throughout.
