Hindu God Krishna Being Dressed in Womens Clothes for Spring Festival Holi, c. 1790
Hindu God Krishna Being Dressed in Womens Clothes for Spring Festival Holi, c. 1790. The festival of Holi, which celebrates the arrival of spring, is a time of play when transgressing boundaries is allowed as part of the reckless joy and abandon of the day. Vats of coloured water and powder in the foreground are used to fill handheld pumps to shoot colours at one another. The young women of the cowherd village where Krishna grew up gather around, fill their pumps, begin to play music, and cheekily dress Krishna as one of them. Radha, his favorite, holds his crown up high as she takes it away. He indulges them, just as he indulged all his devotees by taking on a human form. This unfinished work reveals the process of creating an Indian painting. The drawing was probably made by the master of the atelier who would have added the colour notations, then given it to a colourist to paint. Another artist might have finished the faces and another the gold details before the work came back to the master for its finishing touches and final approval
