Krishna Spying on Radha
Red border surrounds a painting. A woman with a yellow headscarf and blue dress with pink trim stands on green ground. She wears a pink shawl and multiple necklaces. A woman with a pink cloth wrapped around her sits on a platform. She has a yellow cloth on her head and long black hair. Her right hand touches the other woman's face. Three brown pots are on the ground in front of her. A white building with gold window and red and white trim is on the right. A brown tiled wall is on the left. A man peers over the wall from behind a tree.
