Krishna&Balarama's pranks to steal butter

This painting is about Krishna & Balarama compelling mother Yashoda to give them butter. Yashoda refuses to give since they would hoodwink her and steal thebutter. They think the best way to get the bounty is to distract her attention by pulling her necklace and her braid. Mother Yashoda is really perplexed at their pranks. Finally, she is fascinated by their innocent look and charms, agrees to feed them with butter. The highlights of the picture is the well lit palace with gorgeous designed pillars. I assume, it is my best effort to make one visualize the childhood days of Krishna & Balarama in Nandagokula.
