Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical rectangular painting framed by a decorative border. The border features a repeating pattern of orange, four-petaled flowers and green leaves on a light, uncolored background. The painting is divided into two main scenes by a horizontal band of text. The top scene is set against a vibrant green background. Five horses are depicted, moving from left to right. Their coats are various shades of brown, tan, light blue, and white, and they are adorned with colorful saddles and bridles. Below the horses, several male figures walk or stand. One man in a blue tunic plays a stringed instrument, another in pink holds a staff, and others wear turbans and simple garments. A white goat and a small black dog are also visible among the figures. A horizontal band of text in black script is positioned above the horses, reading: "प्रवेसादागरकाधा दारीवालचलीजायमरोकरेताव १३". A second horizontal band of text separates the top and bottom scenes, reading: "मधेराणीक सवेदी सोराजामनावैता". The bottom scene depicts an interior setting. On the left, a building facade with white walls, small rectangular windows, and red columns is visible. The floor is covered by a yellow rug with a geometric pattern. A man, dressed in a long red robe and a red turban, stands on the right side of the rug, facing left. He has a dark mustache and beard. He extends his right hand towards a woman who kneels on the rug, facing him. She wears a light purple and blue patterned garment. A large block of black script text occupies the right side of this lower scene, extending from the top to the bottom of the scene, reading: "राणीमुक्ति कपातन चंदनादीप्रानसुकेहे या बादीकरेनकामचक्रमे श्रीबचनराणीदुएणा ला गोउरमेछला कसवेदी एक महरमे कामदलोयासब मेलापएहनातचंदल खुलीआयोदालीयाद प्रीतमसुंपरीयाकादेवे जोयेपरधरमाध दोरीप्रभुरा जंककरु बणी केदीजेथै तारीबहुना रमे होणीहेयमेहोठ १२ प्रयेप्रीतनकुबुढक यपीआऊनेयए जंगलमहेरूयागरा".
