A begum attended by ladies receives a prince in her encampment outside a citadel. The red canopy above them has a border of lozenges in white, orange, green and black; the encircling screen is washed with red and its entrance is guarded by a man with a white turban. Various figures gesture in front of the gate to the citadel, while others gather in a line in the foreground, with two horses. Two lines of text are in a panel above the begum, and two more lines are in a panel floating against the screen below.
