Detailed Description
The vertical rectangular painting depicts a multi-level architectural scene with two women and a garden. The top edge features a narrow, ornate border with red and yellow floral patterns on a light background. Below this, a dark blue sky fills the upper right, adorned with green trees and red-flowered cacti. On the upper left, a white and red pavilion with a yellow-striped dome roof is supported by four slender columns, overlooking a patterned railing. The main architectural structure below is a building with red walls and white trim. On the left, a room with an arched opening reveals a white, turban-like object on a yellow patterned stand, topped by a small, dark red canopy. To the right, two women are seated on a balcony with a red back wall. The woman on the left wears a dark patterned sari with green, red, and yellow stripes, and has dark bangles on her wrists. She faces right, gesturing with her right hand. The woman on the right wears a yellow and green striped sari, also with dark bangles, and faces left, gesturing with her left hand. They sit on a dark striped rug. Behind them, on the red wall, a small white and yellow framed image of a stylized vessel is visible. Below the balcony, a white wall features two red vases with red and green floral arrangements. Further right, a section of the wall has a blue arched recess. The bottom edge of the painting is bordered by a dark blue band with white wavy patterns and small white ovals. The overall palette includes reds, blues, greens, yellows, and whites.
