Krishna weighed against precious objects(?) (verso), from a Kalighat album
The image shows a drawing of a scene with people and a building. The scene features a male figure on a large scale with a tray of objects on the other side. The male figure wears a dhoti, has a red sash around his waist and a necklace around his neck. He has dark hair and his right arm is raised. There are several female figures standing on the left side of the image. Some of them wear saris and have long hair. On the left side of the image, there is a multi-story building with columns and archways. The building has a red roof and appears to have people standing on a balcony. The background of the image is beige. The image has an ornate border with swirling patterns. The scene appears to depict a weighing or comparison between the man and the objects on the tray.
