This painting shows a seated Muslim man and woman in South Indian clothing. The woman wears a red sari with gold trim. A brass lamp and hookah sit beside them. The man holds a fan. A red border frames the scene. Tangled clouds fill the top strip. The artist used heavy shadows under their feet and a flat style. The English label below names their caste as "Muslim Bhoje." This was one of 36 similar paintings in an album. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more from this series.
