Description
- Opaque watercolor

Opaque watercolour on grey-brown paper, depicting the flute-playing Krishna standing on Kaliya and being implored by two of the Naga's wives, within a cusped arch with scroling floral decoration in the spandrel
Catalogue Note
The facial features of the Naga's wives and Kaliya are close to those employed on a scroll painting in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Rossi 1998, p.99, no.38). This was found in Murshidabad and formed part of a narrative scroll of Hindu and Muslim themes.
