Large figure playing a stringed instrument, three smaller seated figures, within a blue and red border
Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular image is framed by a red border. The central background is a deep blue, adorned with gold and red decorative elements. A large, dark-skinned figure dominates the left and center, seated in profile facing right. This figure wears an elaborate red and gold crown or headdress, large circular white and red earrings, multiple necklaces, and armbands. The upper body is clad in a light green garment with white and red trim, while the lower body is covered by a pink skirt patterned with gold circles. The figure holds a stringed instrument, possibly a veena, vertically with both hands. The figure is seated on a blue and gold patterned throne-like structure. A large, ornate red and white halo or arch frames the figure's head and upper torso. To the right of the main figure, three smaller, dark-skinned figures are arranged vertically, each within its own red-bordered compartment against the blue background. All three smaller figures are seated in a cross-legged position, facing left, and wear crowns or headdresses. The top and middle figures appear to hold small objects. The figures are rendered with bold outlines and a limited color palette of blue, red, pink, green, brown, and white.
