Detailed Description
This horizontal painting depicts six women seated on the ground under a canopy of trees. The background is a solid yellow, with a dark gray, almost black, circular shape in the upper left corner, resembling a moon. Six slender trees with brown trunks and green leaves are evenly spaced across the scene, their branches intertwining to form a continuous line of foliage across the top half of the image. Small purple flowers are scattered among the green leaves. The six women are arranged in a row, seated cross-legged on a dark green and brown ground. Each woman wears a long-sleeved top, a skirt, and a veil draped over her head and shoulders. From left to right: The first woman wears a light purple top, an orange skirt, and a green patterned cloth over her lap. She faces right, with her right hand raised and her left hand near her lap. The second woman wears a light blue top, an orange skirt, and a yellow patterned cloth. She faces right, with both hands raised and gesturing. The third woman wears a white top, a blue skirt, and a yellow patterned cloth. She faces right, with both hands raised and gesturing. The fourth woman wears an orange top and a yellow patterned skirt. She faces left, with both hands raised and gesturing. The fifth woman wears a light purple top, an orange skirt, and a green patterned cloth. She faces left, with both hands raised, palms together. The sixth woman wears a green top and an orange skirt. She faces left, with both hands raised, palms together. All women have dark hair, light skin, and prominent eyes. Text is visible in two areas: at the top center, "गोपीवस्त्रानगायाछ" is written in black script. On the far right, vertically aligned, are the words "दृष्टी" and the numbers "१२७०" and "११०" in black script.
