Sourced Overview Evidence

The idea of aesthetic appreciation as explored by the poet Keshavdas (Indian, 1555–1617) in the excerpt from his <em>Rasikapriya </em>written on the back of this painting is envisioned as the appreciation of music. With their arms around each other, Radha and Krishna enjoy the performance on a stringed instrument (<em>setar</em>), cymbals, and drum in the forest.
