Cremation of the Demoness Putana, from a Krishna-Lila
The image depicts a drawing with shades of gray, brown, and red on aged paper. A chaotic scene unfolds with people and animals. A large demon-like creature lies on the ground. It has a large head with a mouth open, showing teeth. Two men are on top of the creature. To the left, a man rides a bull-drawn cart. In the background, another creature burns in the distance. A group of people watches from a raised platform on the right. Buildings, trees, and a cloudy sky are also visible.
