Three figures, one blue-skinned, dance in a landscape with stylized trees and a lotus border
Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting depicts three figures in a landscape, framed by a red-brown border. The top section features a dark background with two stylized green trees. The tree on the left is a solid green mass with scale-like patterns, while the larger tree on the right has a similar pattern and curves to the left. Small red and white flowers or berries are scattered among the branches. Below the trees is a light blue-green ground. In the center, a blue-skinned figure stands on a white rectangular pedestal. This figure wears a red cloth wrapped around the lower body, a white transparent upper garment, and elaborate jewelry including necklaces, armbands, and a crown. The figure's arms are raised, holding small objects, and two small black birds are near its head and right hand. To the left of the pedestal, a light brown-skinned figure dances. This figure wears a yellow skirt, a dark red overskirt, and a brown top, adorned with necklaces and armbands. Its left arm is bent, and its right arm is extended. To the right of the pedestal, another light brown-skinned figure stands, facing the central figure. This figure wears a long brown skirt and top, holding a white and red striped object in its hands, possibly a drum or a bowl. It also wears jewelry. The bottom section of the painting features a decorative border with white and pink lotus flowers and green lily pads against a light blue background, above a thin gold and red stripe. Faint text in a non-Latin script, including the characters "श्री", is visible in the top left corner of the inner border.
