This miniature painting depicts a couple in the midst of a charming setting, with a bed of flowers to the right, a little fountain in the middle, richly carpeted floor and intricate walls. The manner in which the artists have portrayed a myriad of colours and features in one small frame is reflective of their expert artistry.
The artwork is enhanced with a lustrous border interspersed with gold foil. This art of incorporating gold leaf is inspired by the ancient Persian palette, where it was often used to embellish the borders of manuscript leaves.
