A chalk drawing on a dark grey ground depicts baby Krishna in blue skin with a peacock feather crown, a red tilak, golden jewellery and garlands, and a red and yellow cloth at his waist. He sits with one hand raised to his mouth and holds a purple stick, beside a brown clay pot with a purple and yellow rim and steam rising from it. The pot suggests the butter-stealing childhood scene. A small faint bird logo appears in the upper left corner.
