A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting depicts Maharaja Savant Singh and Bani Thani seated on a patterned terrace. Savant Singh, wearing a purple robe and golden halo, gestures toward Bani Thani in a green dress. Three attendants stand behind him, while another occupies a white pavilion. Beyond a green field, a white city skyline rests beneath a red horizon. An ornate gold floral border frames the entire scene.
