Description: | The princess, shown in the posture of an Indian tree-nymph (one heel raised and the right hand clutching the leafy frond of a tree), is probably waiting for her lover (a popular theme in Hindu poems). She is holding a wine flask and a cup in her left hand. Her Mughal style dress includes a white 'jama' top over pink 'paijama', a striped turban and an orange shawl. The background is very stylised with indication of a tree-topped knoll in the background and a lotus pond in the front.
