A horizontally oriented gum tempera painting depicts blue-skinned Krishna standing against a saturated red field, wearing a yellow dhoti, holding a lotus, and crowned with lotus buds. Facing him, a woman with light skin tones in a patterned green gown sits within a pavilion atop a red floral rug. A gray building rises at the far right against a yellow sky. Black script marks the top border, while pink flowers edge the roof.
