Brief Description
A painting showing a large blue figure standing above a smaller yellow figure on a swing
Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting is divided into two horizontal registers, each depicting a scene with figures. The top register features a large, dark blue-skinned figure standing centrally on a low platform. This figure is richly adorned with multiple strands of white and red beads, a tall crown topped with a peacock feather, and various gold ornaments. Its right arm is raised, and its left hand holds a pink lotus. The figure is set against a bright yellow panel, which is framed by a red wall with a subtle patterned texture. Two male attendants flank the central figure; the one on the left wears a yellow dhoti and holds a green, conical object, while the one on the right wears a white dhoti and holds a white circular fan. Both attendants have dark hair and simple jewelry, and they face the central figure. On the platform below the blue figure are small green and red objects, and a small stool. The bottom register depicts a scene in a light grey room with a tiled floor. In the center, a smaller, yellow-skinned figure is seated on an ornate swing, suspended from a decorated archway. Four male attendants surround the swing. The leftmost attendant wears a white dhoti and holds a white circular fan. Next to him, an attendant in a light orange dhoti and white shawl reaches towards the swing. To the right of the swing, an attendant in a white dhoti holds a green, conical object, and the rightmost attendant, also in a white dhoti, holds a white, leaf-shaped fan. All attendants have dark hair and simple jewelry, and they are positioned around the central swing. The background is a plain light grey wall with a dark grey baseboard.
