Painting, in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, a nobleman, Mir Phulawari (son of Ja'far Ali Khan), later Governor of Bengal (1775-1776). He is shown seated on a flowered mat amid cushions facing to the left, wearing white but for a gold brocade girdle. He holds a hawk on his right hand and the mouthpiece of a huqqa in his left; before him stands a green clothed youth and behind him is a chauri-bearer in white with pink sash and turban. The figures are on a white terrace beyond which is a silver river running between flower-decked meadows; grey clouds are in the sky.
