A vertically oriented tempera and graphite painting depicts Yasoda, a woman with a medium skin tone, holding two children against a pale blue background. Yasoda wears a red dress with vertical white stripes and a green-patterned headscarf. She cradles Radha, a girl with medium skin tone, on our left, and Krishna, a god with blue skin tone, on our right. All three wear jewelry and red and green garments, framed by a dark charcoal border.
