Painting, in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, the loving couple in the centre of this painting are both female. The one on the left is a yogini with her hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, and a meditation band round her knees. She rests her left arm round the shoulders of her companion who clasps an orange bolster. This figure appears superficially to be a man wearing a turban with a black aigrette, but the rounded breasts which are apparent through her transparent clothing betray her true sex as a female. Moreover, her feet are hennaed like those of the rest of the women in the picture. Her turban distinguishes her as a Mughal princess. She is dressed in a transparent golden peshwaz with golden lappets round the neck and bodice opening and panels edged in gold, over tightly ruched golden paijama sprigged with pink flowers and a golden patka decorated with pink flowers She is richly bedecked in rows of pearls and necklaces with large gems The yogini beside her is dressed in a pale green gaghra dotted with golden motifs and a gold hem with a golden sash bound round her legs as a meditation band. On her upper body she wears a red ruched choli which terminates just above the lower edge of her breasts. She, too, wears a full set of pearl, gold and gem-set jewellery. The couple sit on an ochre-coloured patterned floor cloth by the side of a rustic wooden hut and are attended by three other females: one on the right offering flasks of wine, another seated clasping a handkerchief in one hand and holding out a small cup in the other, while she clasps a bolster to her body. A third attendant stands holding up a circular pink, green and gold fan. Flowers, fruits and sweetmeats are placed on an oval cloth on the decorative floor covering ornamented with a scrolling floral design on a blue background.
All three attendant ladies are wearing transparent white peshwaz with paned skirts edged in gold over coloured paijamasand golden patkas with floral designs. The lady with a fan wears a two-tiered hat with an upright, outward-curving brim, while the other two attendants wear odhanis over their long hair.
The scene is set within a palace courtyard with a low latticed golden balustrade set either side of some white steps leading up from stylised beds of white flowers. Behind the hut a low white barricade stands in front of a lake with water lilies and ducks. Behind this there is a taller white wall with an ornamental window opening leading the eye through to a regular row of rounded leafy trees alternating with coupled, narrow cyprus trees. These are silhouetted against a reddening sky denoting sunset with a band of orange clouds below a dark blue sky with streaks of lighter-coloured clouds.
The painted is framed with gold lines and strips of pale pink paper patterned with a scrolling motif in gold with additional lines in white and black. An outer blue line has been painted on the main border over its floral decoration of a single row of alternate pink lilies and red poppies, which are detailed and outlined in gold on its ivory-coloured ground. The margins of the page have strips of red paper with gold, blue and white inner outlines. A crimson-coloured strip of paper has been attached to the inner margin as a gutter for the album binding.
