Attributed to the artist Sa Nana, the painting depicts a narrative sequence from the life of Krishna. The composition is divided into two distinct registers, a common device in Indian miniature painting to convey temporal progression or simultaneous events within a single frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper register shows a procession of figures carrying palanquins, their movement directed towards the right. The lower register features Krishna, identifiable by his blue skin, seated alongside a maiden in a chariot drawn by horses and accompanied by elephants. The figures are rendered with the characteristic profile views and expressive gestures typical of the Pahari school. The use of colour is bold, with deep reds, ochres, and blues creating a clear separation between the figures and the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSa Nana employs a flattened perspective, prioritising the clarity of the narrative over spatial realism. The architectural elements, such as the arched canopies in the upper section, provide a rhythmic structure to the scene. The figures are adorned in traditional attire, with attention given to the patterns on their garments and the trappings of the animals. The paper surface shows signs of age, with the original pigments retaining their saturation despite the passage of time. This piece offers a view into the artistic conventions of the late eighteenth-century Punjab Hills, where courtly patronage supported the production of such devotional manuscripts. The work functions as both a religious object and a display of technical skill in miniature illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/krishna-steals-the-clothing-of-the-gopis-the-early-master-at-the-court-of-mandi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKrishna Steals the Clothing of the Gopis - The Early Master at the Court of Mandi — The Early Master at the Court of Mandi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/maharaja-sidh-sen-receiving-an-embassy-mandi-atelier\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMaharaja Sidh Sen Receiving an Embassy - Mandi Atelier — Mandi Atelier\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sa Nana","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916265492815,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916298981711,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58916299014479,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916299047247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916299080015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916299112783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916299145551,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916299178319,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916299211087,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58916299243855,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58916299276623,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58916299309391,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Krishna-and-the-Kshatriya-Maidens-Proceed-to-Dvaraka_Poster_CompositorV1_1790685305340.jpg?v=1790685812","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/krishna-and-the-kshatriya-maidens-proceed-to-dvaraka-sa-nana","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
