Detailed Description
The rectangular painting is framed by a dark brown border. The scene is divided horizontally into a foreground courtyard and a background landscape with buildings. In the foreground, a dark reddish-brown floor extends across the bottom. On the left, a woman with dark hair is seated on a pink cushion, facing right. She wears a yellow skirt, a red top, and green sleeves, adorned with jewelry, and holds a small white object in her right hand. Behind her is a white building with arched doorways and decorative patterns. To her right, a blue-skinned male figure stands facing her, wearing a yellow dhoti, a crown, and a sash. His hands are clasped in front of him. Further to the right, two women stand, facing left. The woman on the left wears a brown top and an orange skirt, holding a small pot over a square basin from which water appears to flow. The woman on the right wears a pink top and a green and orange skirt, with a long white garland. Behind the courtyard, a low, decorated wall separates the space from a light brown hilly landscape. Flowering plants with small red blossoms are visible along the wall. In the mid-ground, two male figures are seated on the hill. The figure on the left wears purple robes and is seated cross-legged. The figure on the right wears white robes and a red turban, stirring a pot with a stick. In the far background, a white domed building sits atop a distant hill. The sky above is pale green with horizontal blue cloud-like formations. On the left, white structures with small domes rise above the courtyard wall.
