This miniature painting captures a scene of leisure during the Qutub Shahi reign with the vibrant colors and natural motifs reflecting the essence of the Golconda School of art.
In this illustration, two ladies are joyfully swinging, while four other women stand nearby under a tree.
The background features a lush, green hilly landscape. A swing is tied to a large tree, and a squirrel scurries up the trunk, startling birds flying in the sky. The vibrant colors and natural motifs reflect the essence of the Golconda School of art.
