Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of two men. The man on the left is wearing a turban with orange, white, and black elements and a white gem on the front. He has a mustache and is dressed in a white top adorned with pearls, a blue and white striped dhoti, and a patterned cloth wrapped around his waist. A sword with a red handle hangs from his waist. He is holding a hookah nozzle to his mouth with his right hand. The man on the right is wearing a brown turban and a light-colored long-sleeved shirt paired with a yellow dhoti featuring small purple flowers. He is holding a hookah in his hands. Both men are barefoot. The background of the painting is green with a rough, uneven edge. Small flowers are painted at the bottom.
