Photographic lobby still for the Hindi film 'Devdas' (proper noun), released in the year 1955.

The still depicts a scene from the childhood phase of lead characters Devdas and Paro, where Paro (Baby Naaz) comes looking for a very mischievous Devdas (unidentified actor) in the orchard and finds him smoking tobacco. In the frame, a young Devdas is sitting on a tree branch, holding a chillum with both his hands towards the left side of the frame. Paro is standing towards the right side of the frame, holding a tree branch with her right hand, questioning Devdas with a curious look on her face.

On the top left corner is the name of the production banner, reading 'Bimal Roy PRODUCTIONS'. Towards the bottom right corner of the still is text, reading 'Devdas' (English). In the next line, from left to right is 'PRODUCED' 'AND' 'DIRECTED BY'. Following this text is a logogram of the movie featuring an illustration of a bullock-cart riding into the horizon. Next to the logogram is the name 'BIMAL ROY'.
