Krishna and the Gopis Take Shelter from the Rain
Colorful painting of a religious scene. Blue-skinned man in a yellow dhoti holds a round object over his head with one hand and raises the other. He stands under a grey cloth held up by 7 people around him. The people are wearing long skirts and some have their arms raised. A few are barefoot. Two white cows and two white birds are in the foreground. The scene is set against a backdrop of green trees, a mountain range, and a dark cloudy sky. A body of water runs along the bottom. The painting has a brown border.
