Description: | Against a pale blue background, through which the paper shows in places, a woman is shown seated on the branch of a tree. The tree has rose-like flowers and leaves. She sits with one leg hanging down, the other bent to support her tambur, a long necked lute-like instrument. This is rendered in green with gold decoration on the curved back. The woman wears very elaborate clothing. Orange 'paijama' are covered by a long transparent 'jama', through which we see the woman's breasts. Her long hair is loose, decorated with pearls and gold around her ear. She wears pearl and gold earrings, necklace and bangles in typical southern Indian style.
