Krishna in one of his popular poses in a dynamic s-curve with his left leg bent and only the toes touching the ground.

His hands are raised holding the imaginary flute to his lips.

He is wearing a short dhoti with belts and necklaces, belts and shoulder pads and earrings.

Face's detail not recognizable, a small conical crown on his head.

Krishna uses his flute to serenade and manage his herd of cows, but far more than that the flute represents the spiritual aspects of his divine persona.
