Catalogue Note
A Nayaka (hero) enters the bed chamber of a Nayaka (heroine). She looks downcast upset and conflicted, her body tense and her hand rubbing her forehead with concern. He stands before her with arms down and fingers extended. Two peacocks crow loudly. Brilliant red and blue compartmentalized sections and scrolling multi-colored floral arabesque designs in the lower panel.
