Pair of Painted Doors is a 1820 unspecified by Unknown, a Patna School of Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painted screen shows four scenes framed by dark wood. Two panels at the top feature two women in bright red and gold robes, standing under green leafy trees. Below them, two smaller panels show men riding elephants, with one figure holding a spear. The women hold fans and books, dressed in detailed, patterned clothes. The elephants are decorated with red cloths and gold accents. The background of each scene has a lattice pattern, adding a sense of depth. If you like this style, look up Bundi next.
