Painting, in opaque watercolour on paper, a head and shoulders portrait of a lady in profile facing left and holding a petal in her right hand. She is shown within the curve of a narrow inverted crescent moon at the lower edge against a grey circular background. The lady is bedecked in jewellery and wears a golden chaghatai headdress (originally of Mongol origin in design) which is ornamented with gemstone jewels, pearls and a green flying bird. She has a yellow shawl with a sprigged golden design edged in red thrown across her shoulders which reveals a glimpse of the pearl edging to her pink tuck-edged choli or blouse underneath.
The image is set within a golden frame with a delicately painted outer border of red flowers and scrolling tendrils set within white margins. The inner frame has spandrels of scrolling flowers and tendrils as well: of a violet colour in the upper part and multi-coloured below.
There is also an outer green frame with lotus-bud decoration in gold similar to that on the opposite page, (IS.48:13/B-1956), with white, gold and black outlines and an outer blue line . It also shares the same design for the page margin and border as the opposite page with a row of alternate pink lilies and red poppies picked out in gold on an ivory-coloured ground. The margins of the page are embellished with strips of buff-coloured paper with a white line ruled along their inner edges. A beige-coloured strip of paper has been added along the left hand side of the border to act as a gutter for the album binding.
