Painting of Raja Balwant Singh’s Vision of Krishna and Radha by Nainsukh. The painting depicts a scene with three people. The person on the left is a man standing with his hands together in a prayer-like gesture, wearing a long white robe with a pattern and a white and black turban. He stands under an orange canopy on a beige floor. On the right, a man and woman sit on a gold-colored ornate couch. The man wears blue and yellow clothing and a gold crown-like object on his head. The woman wears orange and has a green head covering. She sits to his right and looks down to the right. The wall behind them is white with intricate designs and a pink archway. A gold chandelier hangs from the ceiling. In the background, a green hill and blue sky are visible.
