Her body posture is in third quarter view, and her face is in profile view. She is dressed in an orange long robe with a dupatta around her neck. She wears a turban with feathers and very little but pearl jewellery.
Her determined profile and outstretched hand suggest she’s urgently riding, Her gaze is directed behind her. This is all taking place in the green hill region. amidst rolling green hills and distant fortresses.
Preserving this exquisite artistic legacy necessitates conservation efforts, particularly due to damage evident in the background and corners of the painting.
