The Krishna Leela series of painting that Jamini Roy did are of a different character. In this monochromatic painting done with bright red colour the child Krishna is seen atop an elephant as though crawling. It is interesting to see how Roy broke down the figure of both the elephant and the crawling babe to the most basic and essential forms and synthesised them to arrive at the complete structure. The painting has an unfinished border of geometric patterns and fish and encloses the two figures. The stylised trees are suggestive of a pastoral setting.
