Short note on krishna on swing

The painting “Krishna on Swing” is yet another marvelous achievement of this period. The painting has two panels depicting two different part of scene. On the first part of the panel Krishna is shown sitting on a swing on the left side of the panel. He is wearing a tiara on his head, his upper part is semi-clothed and there is white flower garland on his neck. There is a Dupatta hanging from his shoulders, and he is wearing an orange coloured ‘dhoti’. The blue complexion of his body has been highlighted. The swing has an ornamental border is hexagonal shape. Radha sitting in front of him in the balcony is wearing traditional but decorated ‘Ghangra’ and ‘choli’. They are looking at each other. Her head is covered with a transparent Odhnis and she is sitting on arced carpet. There is pillow supporting the back of both Radha and Krishna. In the lower panel, both Radha and Krishna are sitting at different places under a tree in a foreground. An attendant of Radha is also shown in the painting. She has perhaps brought a message for Krishna. Here again Krishna is wearing tiara, garland and Dupatta, but his dhoti is of yellow colour. Both Radha and Krishna are sitting on red carpets supported by pillows. Radha is wearing yellow colored “Ghangra” and “Choli”. The attendant standing striped Ghangra Choli of light purple colors. Both the Tree and a mound are in the background. The leaves of the trees are shown clearly in cluster of repeating pattern. Each leaf of the tree reveals the artist’s delight in rendering details.
