Gopis Pleading with Krishna for Their Clothing, Bhagavata Purana

Krishna, in blue, sits in a flowering tree above a red ground while women bathe in a dark, wave-patterned river below, some raising their arms toward him. Deer stand at the lower right beside stylized palms, and Devanagari script runs across the top of this Bhagavata Purana folio in opaque watercolor.
