Detailed Description
A man reclines on a large, red, patterned cushion against a blue background. He is positioned in the center-left, facing right in profile, with his left leg bent and his right leg extended. The man has dark hair pulled back, a dark mustache, and a small dark beard. He wears a white long-sleeved garment and white pleated trousers. Around his neck are two strands of white beads, with a red pendant on the inner strand. He also wears a white bracelet on his right wrist and a ring on his right hand. His left hand holds the mouthpiece of a long, dark hose, which connects to a silver-colored hookah on the floor to his right. The hookah has a bulbous base with intricate patterns and a green top. A blue-handled sword with a dark blade lies on the patterned rug near the hookah. The floor is covered by a yellow rug with a green border, both featuring floral and geometric patterns. Behind the man and the hookah, a white dado rail with small floral details runs along the bottom of the blue wall. The entire scene is framed by a thick yellow border. At the bottom center, faint text in an Indian script reads: "महाराजा श्री कल्याण सिंह जी".
