The man in mauve robe wears a Mughal sash bearing embroidered flowering plants.

Description

Two nobles dressed in royal apparel greet each other. The man in a pine green jama folds his hands in supplication to the one clad in a mauve robe. The man on the left is probably a raja, as he adorns his turban with a royal plume and raises his hand to bless the other.
A vertically oriented gum tempera and silver painting depicts two men with medium skin tones against a light green background. At left, a man in a pink robe and plumed red turban faces right, grasping a thin rod while a sword hangs at his waist. To his right, a bearded man in a dark blue robe and striped turban faces him with palms pressed together. A reddish-brown border frames the composition.
