A Lady and Her Duenna: Page from a Dispersed Rasikapriya (Lover's Breviary)
A lady wearing a white head covering, and a long purple and gold skirt with a white shawl, stands on a stone platform beside a gray wall with an open doorway. The lady looks down and to the right with an expressionless face; she holds her right hand to her face. To her right stands a woman in a reddish-brown and gold sari with a red blouse and gold jewelry; she holds her right hand up by her face and her left at her side. Behind them is a pink wall with a tree on the right and a building with a yellow awning on the left. The scene is framed in red with a yellow border and a line of foreign text at the top. The background shows a blue sky with white clouds.
