From the collection of Detroit Institute of Arts
This painting depicts a scene within a palace, where a prince sits on a platform, accompanied by an attendant. The prince is dressed in a yellow dhoti and holds a fan in his right hand, while the attendant stands beside him, grasping a chain attached to a cheetah. In the background, a building with a white dome and a red wall is visible, featuring a window with a floral design. The sky above is blue, with dark clouds. A notable detail in this image is the use of vibrant colors, which adds to the overall sense of opulence and grandeur. The contrast between the bright hues and the dark clouds creates a visually striking effect.
