This Deccani painting captures a scene of leisure.
Two women swing from a tree, while four others elegantly dressed in red and gold attire observe nearby. One sits, her flowing robe cascading around her, while another leans in, mirroring her hairstyle. The scene unfolds against a verdant landscape with rolling green hills, a lake adorned with lotus flowers, and birds soaring in the sky. The use of vibrant colors and nature motifs reflects the Golconda School of art.
