Krishna Bursting Butter Pot — Squirrel Hair Brush on Pure Silk

The butter pot scene — known as Makhan Chor in devotional tradition — depicts Krishna in his most playful, mischievous form. In this painting, the moment is captured with fine miniature brushwork using a squirrel single hair brush on pure silk — a technique that allows the artist to render the drama of the falling butter, the expressions of the figures, and the richness of the background scene at a small scale. The squirrel hair brush technique is a hallmark of master-level Indian miniature painting, requiring years of practice to execute with this level of precision. The pure silk surface enhances the luminosity of the watercolors.

Unframed for Custom Display

The painting is supplied unframed at 30x20cm. It can be framed in any standard A4-size or custom frame.
