Vrouwen die Shiva aanbidden worden onderbroken door een visioen van Krishna c. 1795 - 1805

This anonymous Indian miniature painting from the late 18th century, titled "Vrouwen die Shiva aanbidden worden onderbroken door een visioen van Krishna", depicts a group of women worshipping the Hindu god Shiva in a forest setting. Their devotion is interrupted by a vision of the god Krishna, shown floating above the trees, bathed in a radiant light. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the vibrant and intricate style of Mughal painting, known for its delicate details and use of gold and color. The scene portrays a significant moment in Hindu mythology and exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the divine and the human in a single frame.
