Description
In this partially-painted drawing, two male figures face one another. The one on the left sits with his left knee bent. His left hand drapes over his knee, while his right hand rests on his right knee. He wears a necklace, an earring, and a red turban. He has a mustache that slightly curves upward. His hair hits just below his earlobe. The figure on the right sits with his right left knee bent, his left hand resting on top of it. His right hand is raised, suggesting he is conversing. He wears gold bracelets, a thick gold necklace, an earring, and a red turban. He has a long sword (talwar) resting on his lap. He has a long beard and his hair hits just below his earlobe. Rajput Style.
