Two female figures, Lakshmi and Sarasvati, depicted in a style characteristic of Kalighat painting. The figure on the left has yellow skin and long black hair, wearing a red sleeveless dress with white dots and a matching headdress. She stands on a maroon-colored lotus flower with her right leg bent and right arm raised in a fist, while her left arm hangs down. The figure on the right has blue skin and long black hair, wearing a green dress with dark green stripes and a yellow headdress. She holds a stringed instrument, likely a veena, in her left hand and her right hand rests on her knee; she stands on a yellow lotus flower with a maroon outline.
