Brief Description
Two figures on a terrace, one applying something to the other, with a garden and trees
Detailed Description
The artwork is a rectangular painting with a wide, solid red border. The central image depicts an architectural scene divided into upper and lower sections. At the very top, within the red border, is a white rectangular panel containing black text. The main scene unfolds below this text panel. In the upper left, two tall, dark green trees stand against a light blue sky. To their right, a white building facade features a decorative frieze with small arches and a patterned railing. Below this, a wall has two arched niches, each holding a hanging, teardrop-shaped object. To the right of these niches, a dark, patterned door is visible. On a white-tiled terrace in the mid-left, two figures are seated on a patterned rug. The figure on the left has light skin, dark hair, and wears a light-colored top and a purple lower garment. They are seated with bent legs, holding a small, dark object. Facing them, the figure on the right, also with light skin and dark hair, reclines on a patterned pillow, dressed in a yellow-green patterned garment. The left figure appears to be applying something to the right figure's face or hair. A dark, rectangular object rests on the rug between them. Below the arched niches on the building, two rectangular panels display floral designs: one red with green flowers, and one green with red flowers. The lower section of the painting shows a green ground plane. A white balustrade with dark grates runs across this section. Below the balustrade, a terraced garden area is visible, filled with small green plants and red dots, suggesting flowers. White steps or platforms lead down into this garden. The text at the top reads: "अथव्यंतरारूढगामा मोदकचंद गुणमयी सुरगण न सुमनकल्पद्रुमैरैजुकांन करकंचनश्रिहिंटेकेस श्रि गोसेतउमरेनेस मनलागौपियको पियश्रंगार देनाइकसंग ३ दोहा सरिरामपधनागूह सररनबेसारि पहरअंसओसररति समयेदिनहि विचारि २"
