About this work
Shiva sits with Parvati on the back of the horse Nandi, which walks to the left; in the background a white field with pink lotus flowers can be seen, at the bottom of this field a blue strip runs which curves in a sickle shape on the left side towards Shiva's head; in this strip waves and fish are painted; below this strip run two broad horizontal decorative borders with flower motifs; two solid red vertical borders frame the sides of the sheet. A thin red border has been pasted over the sheet with the image, which is missing or damaged in several places; the lower right corner is crumbling.
