Krishna Kisses Radha: Page from the Boston Rasikapriya (Lover's Breviary)
The image depicts a scene with three people. A man and woman are in the center, embracing; the man wears an orange dhoti and a crown-like headpiece, and the woman wears a pink dress. The woman on the right wears a green and brown skirt with a purple top, and she is barefoot. The background features a red wall below a beige section with three openings; various objects are on the wall and the floor. The room's floor is blue, and the image has a brown border. The overall composition suggests a traditional Indian artwork.
