The iconography of Radha-Krishna is an image of undying romance. They are always in close quarters with each other, often unabashedly so as could be seen in this watercolour. Her delicate pink silks float about Her as She motions with the swing, contrasting sharply with the peeta (dense natural golden yellow) of His dhoti. The adornments of their youthful bodies, the bejewelled filigree crowns on their adorably identical black-haired heads, and the structure of the swing have all been embossed with pure gold.
The almost monotone background, predominated by shades and tints of green, brings out the vibrance of the pastels and the metallics. The lush canopy of the tree spreads out over their heads across the canvas. The stream emerging from the verdant mounds in the distance flows all the way to the foreground at the lovers’ feet. Doves and parrots and richly plumaged peacocks; lily pads and blushing lotuses and wild berry shrubs.
