This is a large painting on cloth. It consists of two panels of what is likely linen that have been stitched together, and the seem runs lengthwise from top to bottom. This type of painting on cloth is known as a pichhwai. It is a form of religious art that comes from Nathdwara in southern Rajastan, India. Pichhwai depict scenes from the life of the Hindu deity Krishna. The painting contains several humanoid figures. The larger figures, from left to right, may be as follows: The female figure furthest to the left could be a depiction of Radha, the Hindu goddess and chief consort of Krishna. The blue male figure is undoubtedly a depiction of Krishna. The light pink colored male figure near the center of the painting could be Krishna's brother, Balarama. The two other female figures could represent gopis, the milkmaid consorts and devotees of Krishna. More curious are the two figures with wings at the top of the painting. Examples of "angels" in Hindu artwork are few, but that is what these two appear to be. The gold colored border, black background with stars, and lily pads below are all common motifs in pichhwai. This pichhwai was a wedding present to a couple in the USA in the early 1970s, so it is at least 50 years old. No other information about its origins exists. The condition of this item is fair. There are places where the darker paint has rubbed off, but there are no stains or tears, and the reds, blues, and yellows are bright.
