Descriptions Description In this painting, a prince, mounted on a gray-blue horse, approaches an elaborate well complex. His status is denoted by his turban with a large plume and his ornate dress. He reaches up to receive a small, gold water jug from a young female figure in yellow. Behind her a group of women converse near the mouth of the well. One of them holds a string that is connected to a vessel that is currently down the well. Four vessels are lined up against the small railing. Rajput Style, Kishangarh School.
