The painting depicts a large, ornate palace with a pool of women bathing in the foreground. The palace is white with red, yellow, and blue accents and has multiple levels with archways, balconies, and ornate railings. The pool is rectangular and gray, with seven women bathing inside. They are all wearing dark hair and various colored undergarments or no clothing. Two women in long dresses stand on either side of the pool, one in orange and one in green. In the background, there is a cityscape with many buildings, trees, and a river. A large moon or sun is visible in the sky. The overall atmosphere suggests a serene and peaceful scene, with the women relaxing in the pool surrounded by the beauty of nature and architecture. The painting is titled "Women bathing before an architectural panorama" by Fayzullah.
