A beautiful vintage Indian devotional print depicting Lord Krishna seated in a serene garden-palace setting, accompanied by female attendants/gopis. The composition is rich in charm and devotional grace, with Krishna shown wearing a peacock-feather crown and ornaments, while the surrounding figures are dressed in elegant traditional attire.
What makes this piece especially distinctive is the extensive hand-applied Aari–Taari metallic embellishment work added over the original print. The garments, jewellery, borders and decorative elements have been enhanced by hand, giving the artwork a raised, textured and highly decorative surface. The embellishment adds a striking visual richness and makes the piece far more collectible than an ordinary printed devotional image.
The scenic architectural background, peacock motif and fine hand detailing together give the work a refined period appeal. The lower left area of the image is marked “R. G. Chonker, Bombay 4,” which adds to its character and interest.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
