Indian Madhubani Folk Art Painting, "Krishna the Cowherd"

Lord Krishna tends to two gentle cows as he plays a message of peace on his flute. The milkmen's wives who carry water jars follow him, entranced by his sweet music. Devendra Kumar Jha and his family paint the pastoral scene in the traditional Madhubani style. Using vegetable dyes on handmade paper, they perpetuate an ancestral art form.

As each painting is an individual creation, each is unique. Colors and motifs may vary slightly from that pictured.
