The daughter-in-law of the king of Banaras sees the jackal deprived of its food by a bird, as it unsuccessfully attempts to catch a fish, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Sixteenth Night
A woman wearing a red and white sari and a black head covering with white dots stands on the left, looking right and gesturing with her right hand raised. A brown and black jackal stands on the grass below her, looking up at a gray and white bird flying in the air. The bird holds something red in its beak. A tree with a rounded green canopy is on the left behind the woman. There are brown hills in the background. The sky has yellow, blue and orange colors. A body of water with green reflections is on the right. Several flat rocks lie on the grass on a steep slope.
