The street cleaner, on his way to meet King Bhojaraja, sleeps under a tree where four thieves disguised as fellow travelers deprive him of a priceless pearl, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Twelfth Night

The image depicts a colorful illustration of a scene. A man in blue lies on the ground, under a large tree with green leaves and pink flowers. He wears a red cap, blue tunic and pants tucked into brown boots. Four other men in various colored tunics - orange, yellow, purple and another orange, surround him. The man on the right in orange appears to be taking something from the man on the ground. The man on the left in purple holds a staff. The background features grass, a blue sky and white birds. Black text in a foreign language, possibly Arabic or Persian, is written at the top and bottom of the image on a beige background with a thin border.
