Chitral

Kanwal Krishna

Opaque watercolour on paper, c. 1820–30

Self proclaimed ‘wandering gypsy’, Kanwal Krishna (1910—1993) approached the genre of landscape painting with a unique modern sensibility. In the heat of the summer, Krishna visually brings the cold breeze and clear skies of the Hindukush to us through his portrayal of the Chitral valley. Zoom into the details to experience the historically and naturally rich landscape of Chitral.
