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