An Amorous Couple, Probably Raja Mahendra Pal of Basohli (r. 1806–13) with a Favorite Queen

The image depicts a man and woman in a romantic pose. The man sits on a low platform, wearing a pink and gold turban with a jewel at the center, a black shirt with gold patterns, and a cream cloth wrapped around his lower body; he looks down at the woman. The woman wears a pink dress with gold accents along the edges and a pink and gold turban; she is on one knee beside him, her other leg raised and behind him, touching his back. A red carpet with a patterned border covers the floor; a pole with a bird on top stands on the right. The couple sits under an orange and gold awning; a white building with a large doorway and a blue sky with clouds and trees are in the background. The painting has a pink border with darker pink speckles.
