A horizontally oriented tempera painting depicts Krishna, a deity with dark skin and a yellow garment, seated on a white cushion inside a large red arch. Two deer leap away from him toward the edges. Three stylized trees with patterned foliage frame the scene against a black background topped by a wavy blue band. Horizontal strips of black script border the top and bottom, all within a red-painted margin.
