Yes I agree that this is a young elephant. Wouldn't say that these animals are gentle. Beautiful photo.

I've seen videos of young elephants trying to be lap dogs, sometimes they just don't realize their size. I'm not sure if I could handle a couple hundred pounds laying in my lap, but the people don't seem to be suffering too much.
The zoo here in Kansas City has the elephants paint on Saturdays. Although I haven't seen the ones from here, I'm guessing that they are primarily abstracts. It is amazing that they are able to hold a paintbrush with their trunks.
I remember going to a zoo once when I was little and there was an elephant there. It was small for an elephant, yet I remember I had to tip my head so far back in order to look up at it. Such big animals!
