| Place of origin |
Painting, in opaque watercolour on paper, Prositapatika Nayika, the lady who sits fretting with her friend, refusing to be comforted because her lover is absent. The object, probably a jonquil, which she holds in her hand is similar to the flowering stalk which the Lady on the Terrace (W.G.A. collection) holds in a similar situation. This and the latter picture are attributed to Punch on other grounds (see Indian Painting in the Punjab Hills). For the lady's facial details, see the two pictures attributed to Punch in the Lahore Museum.
