Trees stand out as bold shapes, and figures are arranged in a single register and have angular and expressive gestures. The female figures are closely related to pre-Mughal types, shown always in profile and wearing garments that stand stiffly and sharply out before them. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1962.279.100.b/1962.279.100.b_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1962.279.100.b/1962.279.100.b_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1962.279.100.b/1962.279.100.b_full.tif
