The lithograph titled "Krishna Combing Radha's Hair" depicts a tender and intimate moment between the divine couple. Lord Krishna, with his characteristic blue skin, is shown seated and gently combing Radha's long hair. Radha sits gracefully on the floor in front of him, her posture calm and affectionate. An attendant stands behind them, quietly observing the scene, adding to the atmosphere of serenity and devotion. The setting features elegant architectural elements, including ornate pillars and a richly patterned carpet, evoking a palace interior.

This depiction reflects themes of love, care, and devotion central to Bhakti traditions, where even the gods are portrayed in deeply human and affectionate ways. Scenes like these have roots in Pahari and Rajasthani miniature paintings, celebrating the personal bond between Radha and Krishna.
