Detailed Description
The rectangular painting is framed by a thick, plain red border. The scene depicts a building with an interior room on the left and an exterior area on the right. The left side shows an interior room with a vibrant red back wall and a dark brown ceiling supported by ornate pillars. Two women are seated on a long, patterned couch or divan that extends across the lower half of the room. The woman on the left wears a light yellow garment and is propped against a blue and white striped bolster. She holds a small, dark object to her mouth with her right hand and has her left hand resting on her lap. The woman on the right wears a green patterned garment and sits with her legs crossed, facing the first woman. Both women have dark hair, dark eyes, and wear jewelry including earrings and necklaces. Above the women, two small windows with dark interiors are visible in the red wall. Above the red room, a lighter brown wall features two white structures with green and gold domed roofs, resembling small pavilions or cupolas. A light blue strip above these structures suggests the sky. The right side of the painting shows a light brown wall. A tall, arched doorway with a dark interior is centrally located, flanked by decorative white and black patterns. A short flight of two light purple steps leads up to the doorway. To the right of the doorway, a man stands facing left, looking towards the interior. He wears a long, flowing red robe with gold patterns, dark trousers, and red shoes. He has a dark beard and a turban adorned with a feather. He holds a sword in his right hand, pointing downwards, and his left hand is raised slightly. Two grey, lotus-shaped finials are visible at the top of the wall, above the doorway. At the top center, above the building, some dark script is visible against the light brown wall. The script appears to be "नगमुत्तररा३". On the far left, a number "13" is written vertically in white against the red wall.
