This painting depicts a woman standing in a lush green landscape, surrounded by trees and animals. She is dressed in a long yellow skirt and a red top, and is holding a long garland of flowers.

The use of bright colors and intricate details suggests a high level of craftsmanship. This painting is a great example of the Baroque style, with its use of rich colors and dramatic lighting.
The painting depicts Kakubha Ragini, rendered in opaque watercolour on paper around 1680. A woman stands holding garlands in both hands as four deer gather around and above her within a rocky landscape featuring a shrine and four trees.
