Descriptions Description The subject of this working sketch--a nayika being bathed by an attendant--was a popular subject in Northern India. In addition to the two central figures, another faintly drawn figure stands near the left margin. The edges of all three figures are outlined with pinpricks, indicating that they were reproduced by pouncing. The setting for the figures is suggested by the outline of a building at left and a tree tops peeking over a garden wall.
