Three women in patterned clothing beneath an arched canopy, one holding a small red object
Detailed Description
The painting shows three women in a stylized interior setting, rendered in a flat, illustrative style. The background is divided into two main sections. On the left, a deep green wall with thin white vertical stripes forms the back of a canopy, topped by a red and yellow striped awning. Above the awning, an arched white panel contains black script. On the right, a lighter, sandy-colored wall features a stylized red floral motif with green leaves, extending upwards from the lower right. Three women are positioned on a light blue platform that spans the lower portion of the scene. The woman on the far left stands, facing right, wearing a red dress with white polka dots, a white underskirt, and a dark shawl draped over her head and shoulders. She has dark hair and is adorned with multiple necklaces and dark armbands. The central woman sits on the platform, facing left, wearing an orange dress with white polka dots, a white underskirt, and a dark shawl. She also has dark hair and extensive jewelry, including several necklaces and dark armbands. Her left arm is bent, with her hand near her chin, and her right hand rests on her lap. The woman on the far right sits facing the central woman, wearing a dark green top and a dark red patterned skirt with white polka dots. She holds a small, reddish, possibly fruit-like object in her right hand, seemingly presenting it to the central woman. She also wears jewelry. The script at the top of the arched panel reads: "माली यनका सह यवना च चीससताताजाता।।।"
