Brief Description
Blue-skinned figure, women, and an archer in a vibrant garden with a pavilion
Detailed Description
The rectangular painting depicts a vibrant outdoor scene with multiple figures and lush vegetation. At the top, a narrow yellow band contains faint black script, including "करनअमर" and other characters, followed by a thin blue stripe and a red border. The main scene is set against a light pink area that appears to be ground, with a darker blue-black strip at the very bottom. On the left, a blue-skinned figure with a golden crown and yellow dhoti is seated cross-legged on a green patch within a red archway formed by dense green foliage. To the right of this archway, a woman stands, facing left, wearing a patterned green skirt and a pink shawl, holding a small object. Various trees with green leaves and some with red blossoms are scattered across the middle ground. One tree has large, broad green leaves, while others are bushy. A small white pot sits on the pink ground near the center. On the right side of the painting, a white pavilion with a red roof and a green interior wall is depicted. Inside, two women are seated on a red rug with white trim. The woman on the left wears a blue skirt and orange top, holding a small bowl. The woman on the right wears a dark skirt and orange top, with her arms raised and hands open. Several small objects, including a dark pot and a white box, are on the rug or floor. Above and to the left of the pavilion, a light-skinned figure in red pants is perched in a tree, aiming a bow and arrow towards the right. The figure has a topknot and is shown in profile.
