A vertically oriented, fragmented oil painting in thick brushstrokes depicts Krishna with blue skin tone standing on a platform, a sword held in his right hand. He wears a translucent white skirt, flanked by attendants in vibrant tunics. Facing him, two figures raise their arms in salute. Below, a man with dark skin sits atop a purple elephant. Nagari script borders the top, while stylized trees and peacocks emerge from a shadowy background.
