About the work
The fragmentary drawing features Krishna, the eighth avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu who is worshipped in his own right, fluting in a forest. A group of animals, including cows, deer, and birds, come towards him, attracted by his music. A group of women stand nearby, inside a structure, near a doorway, on the top right. Dots of various colors denote what colors should be used in the final work of art. The drawing suffers losses around its edges. Rajput Style, Kota School.
