About the work

Seated on a small platform against a large cylindrical cushion is a female artist. She supports her drawing or painting on one of her knees. She uses her right hand to draw or paint. She wears a long robe, trousers, and a long, translucent shawl that covers her head and runs down her back. A halo encircles her head. Next to the platform is a small table with various-sized flasks and containers. There is a lightly drawn terrace and trees in the background. Rajput style, Kota school.
