About this work

In the painting, a woman in a blue dress with gold embroidery stands in a courtyard, facing a man in a yellow and pink outfit. The woman has her arms outstretched, and the man is holding a small object in his hand. The courtyard is white with a pink roof, and there are three windows behind the couple. The woman's dress is intricately designed, with a pattern of gold flowers and leaves. The man's outfit is also ornate, with a yellow jacket and pink pants. The courtyard is simple, with a few decorative elements around the windows. This painting is a great example of Indian art from the 18th century.
