Vasudeva (Krishna's Father) Fleeing with Krishna Encounters a Cobra and a Jackal (verso), from a Kalighat album
The image depicts a man standing with a baby in his arms, accompanied by a deer and a snake. The man has a shaved head with a single black ponytail on top, and he wears a yellow shirt, white pants with gray stripes, and an orange shawl with yellow and red tassels. He is barefoot and has multiple necklaces around his neck. The baby is wrapped in a blue cloth. To the left of the man, a blue snake with an open mouth featuring red and white details faces a tan deer with its mouth open, as if barking or howling. The background is a light beige color with faint drawings of people.
