Unidentified Malwa painter

The painter of this Gita Govinda leaf is unidentified. The figures, strong colours and patterned clouds connect it with early Malwa painting. It illustrates a particular episode in the poem about Krishna and the cowherd women. The school designation supports comparison with other leaves without identifying an individual artist.
