Masterpieces of Oriental Art. 10: Milkmaids in the Groves of Brindāban;

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

One of the most beautiful and interesting paintings at the Royal Academy Exhibition of Indian Art (No. 472) was lent by the Asutosh University Museum, Calcutta. Two subjects, painted on both sides of a single sheet in reverse directions, represent the Milkmaids of Brindaban awaiting Krishna by the River Jumna on a moonlit night. The one not shown at the Exhibition is reproduced by Mr. D. P. Ghosh in the Journal of the Indian Society of Oriental Art (vol. ix, 1941, p. 112): the other is reproduced here (PL I).
