A man and two women in a garden at night, one woman playing a stringed instrument
The painting depicts a night scene with three figures in a garden setting, framed by a dark border within a wider, distressed light brown border. The upper portion of the central scene features a dark blue night sky with a white crescent moon and scattered white stars. Below the sky, green hills rise in the background, with a white building featuring a pink roofline visible on the left. In the foreground, a man is seated on a light and dark checkered patio, facing towards the right. He wears a long, dark pink robe with a patterned, pleated dark skirt and a white turban adorned with a plume. To his left, a woman kneels, holding and playing a stringed instrument. She is dressed in an orange skirt, a yellow top, and a sheer veil. To the man's right, another woman stands beneath a large green tree with white blossoms. She wears a long red dress and holds a small white object in her right hand. A low red railing separates the patio from the viewer. The top of the painting, above the main scene, contains text in an Indian script: "अथदीपकुरागनीश्रीचंद्ररातगये".
